It has a low hipped roof and is sheathed on weatherboard. The front facade features a full width, one-story front porch topped by a balustrade. The building was started in 1861. It was originally "T"-shaped, until a series of three small building campaigns altered the form of the dwelling to resemble a square.[3]
