It was deemed significant as it is "the only Andrew Johnson residence in Batesville and is an excellent example of his ornamented L-shape cottage style."[2]
It is a one-story ornamented cottage with a three-bay gallery with an intricate balustrade. It has irregular massing and fenestration, and a steep roof which is emphasized by a projecting pavilion. Paired and single brackets are used to support a cornice, and single brackets support the shallow eaves of the main roofline.[2]
