The house is three bays wide and three bays deep with side hall entry. The gable field has an arched louver. The house has been covered in vinyl and the original windows have been removed

has square posts and balustrade of square balusters. Characteristic of the Italianate style, the first story windows on the front façade are elongated to the porch floor. The house has
a large brick chimney along the ridge of the roof. There is a large two-story rear ell with enclosed first and second story porches on the southern elevation. The rear of the property
includes a one-and-one-half story Gothic style barn with two front wall gables and a cupola with flaring conical roof. This barn has been converted into residences. HISTORICAL NARRATIVE
