The original section of the house is at the front, while two additions at the rear date to the 1890s and 1942–43, respectively. A much larger addition was constructed on the south side around 2012. The interior of the house features original wooden floorboards, vigas, and corner fireplaces. The historic nomination also includes an adobe chicken coop on the property which has been converted into a small house.[3]
