It has a hip roof with gables covered in composition shingles, wood double-hung windows with one-over-one lights, and a single-door main entrance topped by a transom. A hip-roofed, L-shaped porch wraps around the east side, with Doric columns and squared wood balusters. A recessed single-bay porch on the second level is detailed in a similar way, and imbricated shingles decorate the gable end of the facade. The house is considered significant for its architecture.
