One and one-half story frame with novelty one-board, two-bevel, siding and wide-board Masonite siding under porch covering. Hip roof with lower cross gables, asphalt shingle covering.

One story wrap around front and side porch with round wood columns with Scamozzi capitals and sawn wood balustrade. Two brick chimneys, one exterior end and one interior offset. Brick foundation.
