The house is a classic example of Queen Anne architecture, with a hip roof with several gable extensions, each with sunburst-patterned spindlework. A porch wraps around three sides of the house and has thin columns with Eastlake brackets and a matching balustrade. The interior has a central hall with two rooms on each side. Interior woodwork includes tongue-and-groove paneling, Queen Anne fireplace mantels, and some architraves with bracketed cornices.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
