It is a 1 3/4-story, shingle-clad building whose steep gable end faces the street. A pergola porch runs across the facade, sheltering paired entries on either side of a triple window. Two tall chimney stacks rise along the west side, and a shed-roof dormer extends along the east roof slope. A matching pergola garden gate gives the approach a picturesque quality. Inside, the house has a generous stair hall, rooms finished with oak paneling and trim, a fireplace faced with Grueby tiles, and original lighting fixtures. Hammond died in 1948, and his wife stayed until her death in 1972. The house was listed as a simple, unusual, well-detailed and well-preserved example of the Craftsman style, notable for having been designed by its owner. It has had no major alterations.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"E.C.
