From the National Register nomination

Queen Anne/Classical Revival two-story duplex of painted stretcher-bond brick with an asphalt-shingled gable roof with hipped front (south) corner projections with flared eaves. The front façade is flanked by two-story bay windows and has two entries with transoms, single sidelights, and modern six-panel wood doors. The building formerly had a full-façade one-story porch with classical columns on pedestals. This was removed in the late 20th century and a band of crude brick revealed where the porch roof formerly joined the façade. To the rear is a two-story shed-roofed frame wing with vinyl siding and a jettied second story. Other features include replacement Craftsman-inspired 3/1 and 4/1 windows, a limestone foundation, and an artistic front terrace of brick and concrete with brick and limestone benches and attractive landscaping. According to Ann McCleary's interview with D'Earcy Davis, whose architectural firm Davis & Associates occupied the building during the late 20th century, the building was built as a rental duplex by a Dr. Willis. Historic photos and Sanborn maps indicate a former full-façade front porch. The building was converted to office use in 1960. A four-vehicle garage apparently originally associated with this building now forms a rear wing of 124 E. Newman Ave. Now Newman Avenue Associates counseling services.
