From the National Register nomination

Story-and-a-half Tudor Revival house of stretcher brick-veneer frame construction with a complex asphalt-shingled clipped gable roof with a hipped dormer. A steep-pitched gabled projection contains the front entry in a splayed round-arched embrasure with a header brick panel in the arch. Other features include a rear interior brick chimney with a battered stack, a round-arched passage that connects the house to a north-end garage with a front-gable roof and matchboard and glass doors, a south-end one-story bay window, a front picture window with casements, 4/4 and modern 6/6 windows, and a basement-level bracketed stoop to the rear. A concrete walkway with multiple flights of steps connects the house to the alley. The first manager of the Du Pont plant, a Mr. Bacon, is said to have lived here. Contractor Harry Brooks was probably the builder.
