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 quartet-round shoulders, and 6/6 windows with soldier lintels. A two-story garage and apartment formerly belonging to this house was converted into a dwelling and assigned the address 320 Pine Avenue. The house is virtually identical to its neighbor at 816 Eleventh, and both houses were built by hardware store owner W. C. Saunders. In 1935 this house contained two apartments occupied by J. Edwin Turner and Harold C. Turner.
