245:-story wood-frame structure, with a side gable roof, two brick chimneys, and a clapboarded exterior. Its main facade is five bays wide, with sash windows spaced evenly around a slightly off-center central entrance. Windows are topped by slightly projecting cornices, with a frieze band of trim separating the upper story windows from the main roof. The entrance is flanked by sidelight windows and Greek Revival pilasters, which rise to a corniced entablature. An integral single-story shed-roof ell extends to the right of the main block. The interior follows a center hall plan, with parlors on either side of the hall, with kitchen, dining room, and office behind. It retains many original interior features, including wide chestnut flooring, original plasterwork, and original doors and hardware.
