The residence, built during the last third of the 19th-century, is a two-story three-bay single-pile farm house. Its features include a shed-roof front porch, exterior end brick chimneys with stepped shoulders, one-story ell with added shed-roof porches, six-over-six sash windows, one Victorian screen door, a fully sheathed interior, post-and-lintel mantels, and balloon framing to join the circular-sawn structural members.
