It is wood-framed with board-and-batten walls, a tin roof and a brick chimney. The front has a central door sheltered by a pedimented portico on square columns, and the windows are six-over-six sash. Additions have been made to the side and rear, and its condition was recorded as fair. The building is classed as a late example of Greek Revival style, which accounts for its portico and symmetrical front. According to the survey record, it originally served as quarters for the slaves held by Erhard, which adds a documented social history to its architectural interest. It has remained a residence, and its use was recorded as unchanged when surveyed in December 1976. The state historic preservation officer evaluated its significance as state-level.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Chester Erhard (E.C.
