Steeply pitched gabled dormers and a hipped roof are covered with green and gray diamond-patterned shingles. The irregular plan and the variety of window shapes, materials and decorative elements give the house a lively appearance. The facade is dominated by a projecting bay with a central stained glass window and angled windows trimmed with Eastlake brackets and pendants. A large roof dormer has a sunburst design, and an Eastlake porch sits in the easternmost bay. Inside, a parquet hallway floor, finials on the baseboards and carved stairway and window frames survive.
