From the National Register nomination

The two-story modified Colonial Revival was constructed circa 1910. The house began as a stable constructed by John A Myers in 1907 and evolved to its current form through the assistance of local salvage bricks from the a pre-civil war Methodist Church that burned in 1905. The house rises from a limestone foundation to a frame structure with brick veneer. Its asymmetrical façade is accented by its side-gabled, standing-seam metal roof. There is a single brick exterior-end chimney on the east elevation. The east elevation is also defined by a small one-story projection under a wood shingled roof. The building also has a one-story clapboard addition with a sloping east-to-west metal roof. There are two subsidiary shed buildings located to the east of the primary resource. The evolved house serves as an interesting study in salvage materials and building evolution. It is one of the more unique houses in the neighborhood.
