It is Victorian vernacular with Italianate details, and stands on a cut limestone foundation.[2]
It was deemed significant on a local level "as a good example of a late 19th century center passage T-plan with Italianate details over a regional vernacular late Greek Revival house. In both form and plan, the house offers features from both eras: a low hip roof, multi light sash, and two-dimensionality of the Greek Revival; and the decorative porch frieze, polygonal bay, tall windows, and T-plan of the later Victorian era."[2]
It has also been known as S.H. Calloway House.[2]
The property includes a tobacco barn, a concrete block dairy barn, and a concrete silo east of the house, but these are not included in the smaller area listed.[2]
Its listing followed a 1986–87 study of the historic resources of Shelby County.[3]
