From the National Register nomination

Colonial Revival two-story house of stuccoed tile block with a metal-sheathed gable roof. The roof has pedimented dormers with pilaster surrounds and 8/8 windows with fake muntins. There are modillion cornices and raking cornices in the gables. The one-story front entry porch (possibly added in the 1920s) has fluted Doric columns and paneled pilasters. The elliptically arched underside of the porch pediment reflects the elliptical radial-muntin fanlight over the front entry. The entry has sidelights with decorative muntin patterns. A one-story porch on the south gable end has fluted Doric columns and square balusters. Exterior stuccoed chimneys rise on each gable end. Other features include a limestone foundation, quarter-round windows with radial muntins in the gables, 8/1 windows, and a large one-story rear addition (2003) with a simulation stucco exterior and an asphalt-shingled gable roof. A. J. Joseph lived here in 1955. Now Rockingham Memorial Hospital Center for Sleep Medicine. (Juanita Allen; Hering and Wilson Sanborn map index)
