It has a concrete foundation, a hollow tile structural system, projecting bays, small balconies and two short square towers with decorative parapet roofs. Inside, it holds some of the most elaborate interiors Ward designed, including four Mercer tile fireplaces, carved woodwork, leaded glass bookcases and stained glass from the Henry Keck studio. It was built for Annie Dunfee, a widow, who requested Biblical scenes for two of the fireplaces. She lost the property to foreclosure in 1935. The house is valued as an intact, representative example of Ward's residential work and keeps most of its original finishes. A compatible frame garage also contributes.
