It was a Queen Anne-style house with a large and prominent turret, as is typical for large Queen Anne style houses elsewhere but which is somewhat rare in Louisiana, where so-called Queen Anne houses are often modest one- or two-story I-houses with some Queen Anne details. It has an L-shaped plan. It has two semi-octagonal bays in addition to the corner turret, and it has a Colonial Revival-style curving gallery.[2][3]

A garage to the rear of the house was added in the 1940s.[2][3]

It was listed along with several other Lake Providence properties and districts that were studied together in the Lake Providence MRA on October 3, 1980.[4]

The house is no more standing. It has disappeared some time between 1980 and 1996.[lower-alpha 1]
