From the National Register nomination

Colonial Revival two-story building of stretcher-bond brick with occasional header/stretcher courses. The asphalt-shingled gable roof has paired brick chimneys (false?) at each end. A monumental two-story portico stands on stuccoed Doric columns and has a stuccoed pediment with a lunette with decorative muntins. The front entry has an elliptical fanlight, sidelights, and fluted pilasters. Over it is a decorative metal balcony with a Chippendale-pattern railing. One-story arcaded wings extend from each gable end. The north wing has nothing behind it; the south wing forms an entry porch for a chapel. The wings have round-arch openings with white stone or concrete keystones and granite (or granitic terra cotta) copings and belt courses. A later porte cochere extends on the south end, supported by square wood columns and brick pillars and with a decorative metal roof balustrade. In front of the building is a manicured lawn and planting beds with a circular fountain with a brick curb. In the fountain is a white marble cube inscribed Lindsey Funeral Home on which stands a bronze torchere. The Lindsey Funeral Home was begun in 1929 by William B. Lindsey Sr. and opened in the Campbell Hotel. It later operated out of a two-story Queen Anne house that stood at this location. (Murphey, "Jokes go with job")
