Two story frame with weatherboard wall covering. Cross gable roof with standing seam metal roof covering, sawn wood bargeboard and sawn wood round attic vent. Two over two double hung windows. One story full front porch with square wood columns with engaged pilasters, sawn wood brackets at cornice and one columns. Stuccoed brick foundation. Rear elevation with side gabled roof offset form front porch, and one story shed roof enclosed rear porch.

The windows in the house are in a deteriorated state, some are coming apart and roting. All of the accessible window sashes tested positive for lead-based paint. The Fourth and Gill Design Guidelines state that "Original wood windows should be reused". The guidelines further go on to say, "If replacement windows are necessary, they should be the same overall size as the originals, with the same pane division, and the same muntin syle and exterior depth, width and profile. False muntins or grids should not be used". The windows on this house are in poor condition and replacement windows may be necessary.

Currently, the windows are protected by storm windows. These will be removed and not replaced. The new windows will have removable screens.
