According to its NRHP nomination, "The Bazoon house and its accompanying log barn are unusually intact examples of the state's log construction and together with a pole well shed compose a rare, complete farmstead of the Upland South tradition in Louisiana."[2]

The main part of the house is a 16 by 17 feet (4.9 m × 5.2 m) single pen of round, peeled logs of about 4-6 inches in diameter, with saddle notching at corners. It has porches that have been enclosed by board-and-batten walls. A separate 10.67 by 16.5 feet (3.25 m × 5.03 m) log pen for a kitchen is connected by a porch.[2]

A pole shed provides a shelter for a hand pump well. A barn about 100 feet (30 m) from the house is the third contributing resource; it has a single log pen about 15.5 by 9.8 feet (4.7 m × 3.0 m) in plan.[2]
