Built in the American Foursquare style, it is a square, two-and-a-half-story building of balloon frame construction with a shallow hipped roof. A glassed-in sun porch wraps around the south and east sides of the house, while a smaller sun porch projects from the north (rear) facade. The wide eaves are supported by paired Italianate brackets and the metal tile roof is punctuated by dormers on three sides. Inside, the house was equipped with modern conveniences like speaking tubes and a dumbwaiter and also has a notable pressed metal ceiling.[4]
The house is currently operated as a bed and breakfast.
