It is a single-story Mid-Century Modern frame structure, with a two-level flat roof and cantilevered decks projecting from its concrete block foundation.

The exterior is finished in board-and-batten siding, with ribbons of casement windows providing illumination.

The house was designed by Fay Jones and his classmate Ernie Jacks while they were architecture students at the University of Arkansas.

The house was built in 1951 for Katherine and Harold Hantz, the latter then chair of the university's philosophy department.
