The two story, three bay wood-frame house was built in stages.

The oldest portion is the front of the house, consisting of two stories of rooms on either side of a central chimney.

Not long afterward, a leanto section was added to the rear, giving the house its saltbox appearance.

Even though the house underwent a major rehabilitation in 1968, its First Period construction is still evident.
