It is described as a late example of Greek Revival design. The house has an ell plan, a gable roof with one chimney, six-over-six windows and cypress siding. A central doorway with sidelights and a transom opens beneath a roofed portico supported by wrought iron columns. The chimney is brick, and the roof is covered in corrugated tin. The front porch and a rear lean-to are alterations; the house originally had a separate kitchen. Recorded in 1976, it was still used as a residence and was in fair condition. It was evaluated as significant at the local level and sits within a larger resource area in Bastrop of roughly 4,000 acres.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"A.
