An L-shaped verandah links gabled bays on the north and east sides, and the porch carries ornamental fretwork, though some of it is now missing. The interior woodwork remains intact. The house was built on the site of the George Wright homestead by his daughter Bettie and her husband Thomas Brazelton, who worked as an industrial agent for the G.C. & S.F. railroad. It sits on a large lot in an older residential area, with an early wooden fence and mature trees.
