Central Hallway with front and back porch additions and two rear ell additions. The house is of frame construction and is clad with clapboard siding. The foundation is comprised of stone piers. The original portion of the house possesses a gable roof. One of the additions also possesses a gable roof, while the other addition has a shed roof. Both porches have shed roofs.

While the house at one time appears to have contained two chimneys, only one chimney located on the rear elevation of the original portion of the house remains. Evidence of a side end chimney is noted on the south elevation. Windows are one-over-one double hung sash, and appear to be original. The panel and glass door in the front entra~ce also appears to be original. Access to the interior was not available, however, a view through the glass portion of the front door revealed that the floor plan in the Central Hallway appears intact.
