It has weatherboard siding, a hip roof with gables, and wood double-hung windows. A six-bay curvilinear porch wraps around the east and south sides. Hipped dormers on those sides hold leaded-glass windows, and the gable end has a pent roof. The main entrance has a transom and sidelights, and classical detailing surrounds the doors and windows. A projecting bay on the north side has cutaway corners and jig-sawn brackets. The house was built for W.F. Thompson, who owned it until 1925.
