It has a prominent lateral gable with paired 20/1 windows on the second floor, an off-center front door with sidelights, and a porch running the full width of the front that ends in semicircular ends. A round-headed stair window on the side forms a half dormer. Three rooms and a bath were added upstairs in 1937. The house sits on a large lot, 100 by 280 feet, in an older residential area, along with a contributing guest house and three-car garage. It was listed for its architecture. The house combines the massing of a Shingle Style building with wood siding and high-quality Colonial Revival detailing, making it a locally significant example of the blended tastes of the early twentieth century.
