From the National Register nomination

Two-story duplex (converted from a single-family dwelling) of vinyl-sided frame construction, with a standing-seam-metal gable roof, an integral two-story ell, and an interior-end brick chimney with a corbelled cap. Other features include single-leaf front and side entry doors, 1/1 double-hung vinyl windows, and a one-story, two-bay front porch with square posts. A two-story shed-roofed addition has been made to the end of the ell and a one-story shed-roofed addition has been made to the rear wall of the main block. Landscape elements include a paved driveway on the south side of the house, a poured-concrete walk and steps from the street to the front porch, and two semicircular low brick walls (probably decorative retaining walls or planting bed borders; several of these features remain in front yards along this section of Port Republic Road). Occupied by Amelia Baker and Elizabeth C. Ross in 1935.
