From the National Register nomination

One-story single-family dwelling of asbestos-shingled frame construction on a parged concrete block foundation with a standing-seam-metal gable roof and a brick flue with a corbelled cap. Intact original features include a single-leaf paneled door of wood and glass, 6/6 double-hung sash, and an original three-bay front porch with square posts, a modern balustrade, a concrete block pier foundation, and side-access steps. A small frame shed has been added to the northwest corner of the house. A brick walk and poured concrete steps lead to the porch stairs from a gravel parking area in front of the house. One of five remaining houses, similarly designed, built as part of a group of ten speculative or rental properties on Elkton Avenue. This house is the most well preserved example of its type on the street.
