The original part of the residence is a two-room one-and-a-half-story log structure that is now the ell to the more recent house. This original part of the residence contains a simple post-and-lintel mantel and a very narrow straight-flight enclosed stair. The main block of the house is a two-story three-bay triple-A house that was constructed between 1890 and 1900. The residence features a shed-roof front porch with turned posts, and spindle brackets; front-gable embellished with ventilator, shingles, sawn and turned bargeboarding, and brackets; brick end chimney that now has a cement coating; central-hallway interior; open-string stair; and two molded and bracketed Victorian mantels.
