It has a hipped roof with a shingled central gable holding a stained-glass window, and an attached porch carried on Doric columns with square balusters. The front door has art glass, with a sidelight and transom. Windows have one-over-one lights, lattice encloses the space under the house, and an interior brick chimney and a side bay window complete the design. The wood clapboard walls and composition roof are original in form, and a recent renovation was described as moderate and sympathetic. The house sits on less than an acre, in a well-kept yard in the middle of a residential block. Its first owner, Dr. W. H. Eaton, was a local dentist best known in the Heights for operating the Heights Natatorium, a popular gathering place.
