From the National Register nomination
One-and-a-half-story Craftsman-influenced single-family dwelling with random rubble stone walls (veneer) on a poured-concrete foundation, with an asphalt-shingled hipped roof, a front hipped dormer, and two brick flues. Other features include two single-leaf front multi-light wood doors, 4/1 double-hung wood windows, 2/2 basement-level windows, and a two-bay front porch with stuccoed 'square posts. The house has a small one-story rear porch. A stone walk leads from the street to the front entry, and the yard retains mature ornamental plantings. The house is similar to the adjoining house at 456 Port Republic Road in its use of materials. African American contractor Jacob Fuller built this house and its neighbor. Occupied by Fannie F. Thompson in 1935.
