The landmarked home’s balloon frame was built on a stone foundation and still has the original wood clapboard siding on the structure. The upper peak areas have wood shingles and include the original gingerbread (fillagree) and spindle ornamentation. Multiple wood bandboards are present throughout the structure. The two story bay window, in addition to the multi-gabled roof, contributes to the asymmetry of the house. The house includes a side porch with spindles and balusters. Many of the windows are original and double hung. The original stained glass windows are also on the front and back. The original and well maintained carriage house matches the color and style of the primary structure.
