It combines a Four-over-Four central hall plan with exterior features of the Four Square type: a hipped roof, hipped dormers, a nearly square shape and a broad front porch with four Tuscan columns on brick piers. Classical Revival details include zinc caming in Gothic-arch window patterns, etched glass in the front windows, oak trim with classical entablatures and a classical staircase. Side window bays have decorative brackets. A one-car frame garage also contributes to the property. The house was judged locally significant for architecture, as a well-preserved example of its type, with 1912 as its period of significance.
