From the National Register nomination
Story-and-a-half Craftsman bungalow of stretcher brick-veneer frame construction with an asphalt-shingled gable roof with a large gabled vinyl-sided front dormer. The engaged front porch has paired classical wood columns on brick pedestals. Other features include a poured-concrete foundation with a soldier-course band at the transition to brick, variegated red and olive drab brickwork, an exterior brick chimney with convex or quarter-round shoulders, and 6/6 windows with soldier lintels. The house is virtually identical to its neighbor at 820 Eleventh, and both houses were built by hardware store owner W. C. Saunders.
