Story-and-a-half frame Queen Anne house with pebbledash stucco exterior and a complex asphalt-shingled gable roof with gabled dormers on front and rear. The engaged front porch has square-section wood columns on paneled pedestals. Other features include an interior brick chimney, a north-end exterior brick flue flanked by quarter-round gable windows, diamond-pattern wood shingles in the front gables and dormer gables and plain wood shingles on the sides of the dormers, a front entry with transom and sidelights, a small south-side porch, and 1/1 windows with molded lintels. A low poured-concrete retaining wall, formerly topped by a fence, extends along Wayne. An icehouse associated with the house now stands in the backyard of 600 Chestnut.
