From the National Register nomination
Two-story Craftsman duplex of stretcher brick-veneer frame construction with an asphalt-shingled hip roof with shed dormers with brackets and wood-shingle siding. The dual one-story front entry porches have tapered posts on brick pedestals, square-section balusters, exposed rafter ends, wood-shingled gables, and aluminum awnings. Other features include exterior brick chimneys with convex or quarter-round shoulders, 4/1 and some 2/1 windows, and inset one-story porches at both back corners. A low brick retaining wall with concrete coping extends along Eleventh and the alley. The duplex is identical to 721-723 Eleventh, located next door. Both were built by Jake Fisher as rental properties. This duplex was occupied by William A. Gamble (717) and Frank B. Miller (719) in 1935.
