243:. The 12-acre (4.9 ha) property on which it stands extends across the road into Sprague. It is a two-story wood-frame vernacular house, with a gabled roof, central chimney, and clapboarded exterior. The main facade is five bays wide, with symmetrically placed windows around a center entrance. The entrance is simply trimmed, with a modest entablature and cornice above. Windows on the second floor are smaller than those on the first, and butt against the eave. A series of additions extend from the rear of the house. The interior retains a number of period features, including a built-in cabinet in one of the parlors, wide floorboards, and a paneled staircase in the entry vestibule.
