From the National Register nomination

One-story single-family dwelling on a large corner lot at the intersection of Port Republic Road and Minden Place. Of stretcher-brick veneer on a poured-concrete raised foundation, with a brick flue, standing-seam-metal gable roof, single-leaf paneled wood and glass door, 3/1 double-hung wood sash, and a one-story, three-bay front-porch with tapered wood posts on piers. A large side gable feature faces north. The only exterior modification to the house is the enclosure of its rear porch. A privet hedge marks the front property boundary, and a paved walk leads from the sidewalk to the front steps of the house.

Date based on Sanborn fire-insurance maps.
