It was designed in Gothic Revival style by George Chalmers, a local builder/architect who was from New England and was believed to have been influenced by Alexander Jackson Davis, an architect who authored/illustrated pattern books. The house was built by Thomas W. Bermingham, another local builder.[2]

It has twin gables facing to the front, from a steeply pitched roof, which was shingled with redwood shingles. The house's floors are made of redwood tongue-and-groove boards.[2]
