It has a rectangular plan, clapboard siding, a pier-and-beam foundation and a side-gabled gambrel roof with a gambrel dormer and a smaller hipped dormer. A hipped-roof porch with box columns and square wooden balusters spans the full width of the front. The entrance has sidelights and a transom, and a canted bay projects from the south side. Inside, a fireplace with an oak mantel sits in the foyer directly opposite the door. The house is recognized locally for its architecture, as a good example of the Gambrel type of Colonial Revival design. Its full-width front porch is described as unusual in the Heights.
