From the National Register nomination
Two-story Mission Revival-influenced house of stuccoed tile-block construction with an asphalt-shingled hip roof with hipped dormers. The main and dormer roofs have deep eaves with carved brackets. At the front corners are forward-projecting one-story wings that formerly had basement-level garages. These wings and a one-story front entry porch have castellated parapets. Other features include side exterior brick chimneys, a front entry with sidelights, an elliptical fanlight, and a decorative surround, and 6/1 windows. The house has been converted into apartments. A historic concrete driveway with poured-concrete retaining walls curves entirely around the house.
Date based on Sanborn fire-insurance maps.
