From the National Register nomination
Two-story, three-bay single-family dwelling of asbestos-shingled frame construction on a parged masonry foundation, with an asphalt-shingled gable roof, a one-story hipped ell, and a one-story, three-bay front porch with turned wood posts on brick piers and vasiform sawn balusters. Other features include a center front entry and 1/1 double-hung windows. The house has a slight setback from the street, a poured-concrete walk and steps to the front entry, and a paved drive on the south side of the lot. Stuart was a cook at Fishburne Military School and was among the purchasers of the lot on which Abraham Hall was built. The 1935 city directory indicates that Gertrude Reed occupied the house at that time. (Clark et al, "Waynesboro's Black Community," 3; Augusta County Deed Book 202, p. 345)
