It is a one-and-a-half-story wood-frame house built mainly of cypress, located "just east of the courthouse square" in downtown Caldwell. "Its symmetrical arrangement and restrained classical detailing make the house a particularly refined example of the Texas vernacular's adaptation of Late Victorian styles."[2]

It was restored in 1982 to be used as a house museum.[2]
