From the National Register nomination

One-and-a-half-story single-family dwelling of aluminum-sided frame construction on a parged brick foundation, with a standing-seam-metal gable roof and an exterior-end parged brick chimney. Other features include a single-leaf wood multilight front door, vinyl replacement windows, and a one-story, one-bay front porch with square wood columns augmented by metal supports and a metal balustrade. A one-story shed addition to the rear of the house has a separate covered stoop entry. Property features include a paved drive on the south side of the house, a poured-concrete walk and steps from the street to the front entry, and a semicircular low brick wall (probably a decorative retaining wall or planting bed border; several of these features remain in front yards along this section of Port Republic Road). A ca. 1860 date is assigned to the house by local historians. (Randolph and Bass, "Waynesboro Port Republic Road Historic District.")
