The two-story brick house was built in 1928-29 by DeKalb McDonald, during the oil boom that hit Union County in the 1920s.

The house has irregular massing, with a main block and a number of projecting porches and ells.

The main block and projections generally have hipped roofs finished in red tile with significant overhangs.

Significant original period detailing remains on the interior of the house, despite the application of paneling to the walls.
