From the National Register nomination

The 1933 1.5-story wood frame with weatherboard siding Cottage-style-dwelling sits on a poured concrete foundation under a cross-gabled slate roof. The building has 2,905 square feet, which is consistent with scale and massing within the neighborhood. The façade features a three-bay arrangement, a central front door with multi-paned transom, nine-over-nine, double-hung, wood-sash windows on the first floor, six-over-six, double-hung, wood-sash windows in the three projecting dormers and a cornice line dentil molding. There is a large brick interior chimney in the northwest corner of the house. There is a white picket fence on the north side of the house. There are no outbuildings associated with this building. The house style and materials choice are consistent with the neighborhood, and the house follows typical setback from the street for the neighborhood. The house was awarded the Better Homes and Gardens magazine "Most Well Constructed House" award in the 1930s.
