Windows are a combination of fixed with leaded glass headers and one-over-one, double-hung sash with simple wood surrounds. A low-pitched hipped roof porch is located on the front (north) facade. The porch displays an enclosed balustrade with piers supporting arched openings. The roof is covered with asphalt shingles and features a pediment covered with fish-scale shingles above the front entryway. The rear (south) elevation features a one-story hipped roof addition with a small partially enclosed entrance porch. this building features two outbuildings.

A c. 1915 raised barn is east of the house on the opposite side of USH 14 and features a cut limestone foundation, gambrel rood with metal ridge ventilator, hay hood, and horizontal wood siding.
