It is Queen Anne in style, and its "exterior is distinguished by a cut stone foundation, wrap-around porch, fishscale shingles on the gable end, and polygonal tower."[2]
It was deemed significant "for its association with the 'Golden Age of Wine' in the Napa Valley during the 1880s. The building was the main house for the award-winning Ewer and Atkinson Winery in Rutherford which was established in 1881. Their successes and failures closely paralleled those of the burgeoning wine industry in Napa County during the 1880s. The house is also significant in the architectural history of the area. It is a good representative example of rural residential Queen Anne design in the Napa area.[2]
