Its architecture is described as "derived from the innovative work of Henry Hobson Richardson. The stretching of the roof planes to form the porches, and the lifting of roof planes to form dormers are Richardsonian features as is the sculptured treatment of the shingled second story which has been modulated to create flared surfaces and bow windows."[2]

It is also a contributing building in the East Anniston Residential Historic District.
