It has a low-pitched gable roof, clapboard sidingm simple cornice lintels over single-pane, double-hung sashes, and an ell porch consisting of simple wooden columns, a sloping hip roof, and a balustrade that is sided. The main entrance is in the ell and consists of a plain wood and glass door. The house was built around 1860 and initial research has not revealed an original owner or an exact date of construction.
