It is a brick house with vernacular architecture, and was built originally with a hall and parlor plan. A rear T-shaped extension was added during 1910–20. Its front facade has symmetry: two windows, the front door, two windows, with decorative brick arches above each. It has decorative shingles in the gable ends and a cornice with a full return.[2]

It was deemed "significant because of its historic date and its unimpaired historic integrity. Its design is interesting because it is representative of a style of architecture that provided a transition between traditional vernacular styles and the more universal styles of architecture that became popular in the 20th Century. The shingled gables, the complete return cornice, the Jerkin head, etc. are all examples of characteristics common to this more progressive style of architecture. The hall andparlor plan with the bilateral symmetry of the front facade harken back to the more traditional styles."[2]
