From the National Register nomination

One-and-a-half-story single-family dwelling of aluminum-sided frame construction on a poured-concrete foundation, with an asphalt-shingled gable roof, front and rear shed dormers, and two brick flues. Other features include a single-leaf paneled door of wood and glass, 2/2 double-hung wood windows, and a one-story, three-bay front porch with wood half-columns intact at facade and replaced elsewhere with metal supports. A ground-level shed addition has been made to the rear elevation, which due to the sloped lot is located at the basement level of the rest of the house. A poured-concrete walk leads from the street to the front porch, and a privet hedge bounds the front edge of the yard. The 1935 city directory indicates that William Stuart occupied the house at that time.

Date based on Sanborn fire-insurance maps.
