The residence is a one-and-a-half-story three-bay bugalow-style house with a deep porch supported by tapered posts, hip-roof dormer, two interior brick chimneys, engaged rear shed, wide central hallway, interior plain board sheating, and a variety of heavy Colonial Revival mantels. One of the mantels has a beveled-glass overmantel.
