This is a 2 1/2 story Shingle Style house with a cross gambrel roof, multiple dormers, and projections. There is a large front porch with columns and balustrades. The chimney is decorative and of a light colored brick. The front side bay has a three-story tower with porch and multi-sided sloping roof. There are various bay window projections.

Significance: Park Hill (1984), pp. 424-435, cites this as a strong example of the predominant Shingle Style in Park Hill, with massive intersecting gambrel roofs, varied window shapes, and a three-story corner tower that links the building to the rugged terrain.
