The larger house is a square, one-and-a-half-story duplex with a bellcast hipped roof and a clipped dormer on each side. An inset porch rests on square brick columns at the ends and square wooden posts at the center, and two single front doors sit side by side. A smaller house is attached at the back corner by a porch. The property was first the home and concrete company base of Harry N. Jones, who bought the land in 1904 and acquired several other lots in the block as an investment. His wife took an active part in the Houston Heights Literary Club. The house is regarded as a good example of a simple, early type common to the Heights, with some Bungaloid influence.
