From the National Register nomination
Two-story Colonial Revival house of stretcher brick-veneer frame construction with an asbestos-shingle gable roof. The front entry has a classical pedimented surround and there is a south-end entry with a bracketed stoop. Other features include a poured-concrete foundation, a north-end exterior brick chimney with paved shoulders, 6/6 windows, and a one-story rear wing. A sign by the entry reads "Antiques." According to the present owners, the house was built in 1928 or 1929 on a speculative basis and was intended for employees of the Du Pont plant. Instead, Ford dealer Paul Freed was the first occupant. A. E. Beck lived here in 1935.
