From the National Register nomination

Two-story Dutch Colonial Revival single-family dwelling of frame construction with a stretcher-bond brick first story and a wood-shingled second story. The asphalt-shingled gable roof has extensions and trim that give the house the appearance of having a gambrel roof with large front and rear shed dormers. Other features include a centered entry with a single-leaf paneled wood door with sidelights, sheltered beneath a one-story, one-bay portico with Tuscan columns; 6/1 double-hung sash; two exterior-end brick chimneys; and fan-shaped attic vents and a one-story hip-roofed sunroom on the south "gambrel" end. A concrete block retaining wall separates the lower driveway from the upper front yard, and a poured-concrete walk leads from the sidewalk to the front entry. Occupied by Frank Nicholas in 1935.

Date based on Sanborn fire-insurance maps.
