Hankins built this two-story, two-bay, stucco-finished, hipped-roof dwelling on speculation in 1906. The roof has central, flush cross gables on the north and south elevations and a cross gable flush with the slightly projecting, oversized south bay of the east-facing facade. The building has a full-width, hipped-roof porch that is supported by Tuscan posts joined by segmental arches and a simple balustrade, and is approached by six rather steep concrete steps. The door is located in the north bay, abutting the projecting south bay, and has sidelights and a single-light transom. The 2nd story of the north bay has a single one/one-sash window. Single one/one-sash windows with louvered shutters occupy both the 1st and 2nd stories of the south bay. The cornice is prominent and is embellished with exposed brackets. The north elevation has a one-story addition that extends beyond the rear of the house, and is also flush with the south elevation. A low brick chimney is also visible.
