274:-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, off-center chimney, and clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with sash windows arranged symmetrically around the main entrance. The entrance is flanked by sidelights that have slender pilasters on either side, and is topped by a corniced entablature. The interior follows a regionally characteristic but unusual center chimney plan, with an elongated rear kitchen that gave the house a T shape at its time of construction. Its front rooms retain fireplace surrounds and paneling despite the removal of the original chimney stack and fireplaces.
