It is an "imposing" three-story building upon a full basement which is "one of the finest houses in the city". Its masonry walls are built of structural tile and clad with dark bronze vitrified brick laid in running bond. It has Doric pilasters at its corners.[2]

It was deemed "significant in the area of architecture, because it is one of the few known surviving examples of domestic housing designed by Watertown, South Dakota, architect Maurice A. Hockman.[2]

In 1940 it was donated to serve as a rectory for the Immaculate Conception Parish.[2]
