Chicago architect Ernest Grunsfeld, who went on to design the Adler Planetarium, designed the house in the French Chateau style.

The house includes a gable above the entrance, a multi-story three-sided bay window, casement windows, and a hip roof broken by dormers.

Landscape architect Jens Jensen designed the house's grounds, making use of a ravine on the property to instill a sense of privacy.

[2][3] The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 29, 1982.
