It is a two-story wood-frame structure, built in 1895 by J. V. Bell, owner of one of Jonesboro's first bookstores.

The house is an elaborately-decorated Queen Anne Victorian, with an asymmetrical arrangement of projecting bays, gables, and porches.

The front porch has a delicate spindle-work frieze, and is supported by turned columns.

Different types of cut shingles give variety to the wall surfaces.
