The Jacob VanZolenburg House is a ​2 ¹⁄₂-story front-gable Queen Anne structure. A single story wing extends to the rear. The first floor is clad in clapboard, and the second story is clad with decorative shingling. A porch wraps around one side, and a bay window projects under the front gable. Smaller side gables, formed to mimic a gambrel shape, intersect the main roof toward the rear.[2]

The Jacob VanZolenburg House was constructed some time before 1899. Jacob VanZolenburg lived in the house by 1903. By 1917, the house was owned by Cook Bockes, proprietor of Cook Electric Company. Irma Horton, a musician, boarded with the Bockes family.[2]
