It has a steeply-pitched intersecting gable roof, clapboard siding, and wood shingles in the gables. A denticulated belt course seperates the first and the second floors. There are shallow bays on the sides of the house. Windows are largly single-pane double-hung sashes and some are topped with corinice hoods. On the front facade the first and second story windows are large single lights and transoms. This house was once part of a large farm. The agricultural outbuildings are no longer extant.
