It is a two-story house built somehow incorporating tongue-and-groove work. It was built in 1887 and expanded to the rear in 1930. It has a verandah, decorative moldings, cornices and brackets supporting its overhanging hipped roof. Its interior has an "original curved staircase and double sliding parlor doors." Its planned landscaping "includes the original plants and trees."[2]

Its "roof line features a cornice, frieze board and corona with bed moldings and decorative brackets at all four elevations."[2]

A reconstructed widow's walk was in place, but "was removed per instruction from the U.S. Department of Interior National Park Service, Division of Preservation Assistance Branch, on July 11, 1986",[2] apparently for being not verifiably authentic.
