"this two and one half story house in a style which is the product of the arts and crafts movement has an asymmetrical composition, steep gable roof with exposed rafters, decorative stick work on the top two stories, cross gables and gable dormers, exposed purlins, decorative brackets along the roofline, and a flat roofed single story porch with exposed rafters that wrap around the southeast corner. the house rests on a raised concrete basement. clinker brick has been used for the first story, for the posts of the porch, for the chimneys, and for the wall that surrounds the house. the upper stories are of wood frame and stucco with stick work. the windows are grouped in various arrangements, including a three party bay window on the second story gable end of the facade, and are casements with wood stripping around their edges. changes in the fenestration of the west wall and the addition of a two story exterior staircase on the northwest corner are alterations which detract from the original integrity of the building, but are not significant enough to destroy its original effect.
