It has a T-shaped plan, a wood frame covered in clapboard siding, a slate gable roof, and a foundation of brick and stone. Like other houses in the area, it is mainly Greek Revival but has a Federal-style window in the pediment. The cornice is elaborate, and the ornate front entrance is partly hidden by a wrap-around porch added in the twentieth century. The interior has been remodeled. The house's size suggests it cost a considerable sum when built. It is one of several historic houses along Route 58 near Huntington and closely resembles the Darlon Allen House just to the south.
