Two sections of attached row houses, with ten units facing West Fifth Avenue and three units facing North Broadway, both sections constructed of load bearing brick. Two stories in height on front elevations with raised basement openings at rear. Demolition of the added one story concrete block section on the front of each building has revealed a series of one bay front entry porticos with flat roofs and square columns; the roof sections originally included balconies. Eight over one double hung windows, topped by a projecting cornice with dentil molding and a flat brick roof with a parapet wall with coping and louvered brick. Three story rear elevation, with separate entrances for each unit, marked by an entry centered in a projecting bay, with a recessed light well dividing the units. Brick chimneys are also present for each row house.

On the side elevation of the ten-unit section facing N. Broadway is a cornerstone under an applied, projecting, gabled roof with a full cornice return. Constructed of East Tennessee marble, the cornerstone bears the date 1913 in its gabled portion. Under the entablature are the words - Minvilla built by H. Clay Bondurant. Brimer & England Bros Contractors and Baumann Bros. Architects - forming the remaining inscription.
