From the National Register nomination

Victorian two-story house with novelty weatherboard siding and a metal-sheathed hip roof. The one-story front porch has paired classical columns on a solid railing sheathed with square wood shingles. The front entry has sidelights and a paneled surround and is contained in a slight projection. On the north and south side elevations are cantilevered one-story bay windows with bracketed cornices, sawtooth friezes, and paneled aprons. The bracketed cornice has paired large sawn brackets and multiple smaller sawn brackets. The 2/2 windows have projecting segmental heads and decoratively sawn and molded frames. The one-story rear entry porch has a novelty weatherboard enclosure of one end, square and rectangular-section posts, and an early or original cross-braced balustrade. Other features include a brick and limestone foundation, brick interior chimneys, and overgrown vegetation that hides the front of the house. D. (Daniel Orville?) Deckert (or Dechert?) lived in the house in 1885. Ethel S. Thomas lived here in 1955. (Hering and Wilson Sanborn map index)
