The residence, built in 1912, is a vernacular Queen Anne house. It is a boxy two-story three-bay hip-roof house with flat-roof porch on the southern elevation that is capped by a deocrative balustrade, two interior brick chimneys with corbeled and crenellated caps, projecting roofline gables, and coved gable-roof entry portico. The gables have cornice returns, bands of sawnwork shingles, and round-arched windows inlaid with diamond-patterned panes.
