It is clad in clapboard under a composition gable roof, with a front gable rising over a chamfered bay that has three windows and sawtooth detailing at the corners. An attached porch rests on turned posts with cutout brackets and flat balusters, and two single doors open onto it. Most windows have two-over-two lights, and the house sits on brick piers. The style is identified as Queen Anne. The original owner, Frank Woodard, was a marine engineer. The house was listed because it is one of the few early houses still intact in this part of the Heights, adding to the significance of the area.
