[3] The home, which was begun in the Federal architecture style circa 1810, overlooks the township's Stouts Valley, and was completed sometime around 1840, the same year in which the barn was erected.

The house features an entrance portico with an elliptical pediment, slate covered gable roof, and two gable-end brick chimneys.

The main facade's first floor windows were built with stone jack arches with keystones, a design which is frequently found in Federal architecture.

[5] The nomination form to secure placement of the Jacob Arndt House and its associated buildings on the National Register of Historic Places was completed in November 2004 by David Kimmerly, a historic preservation specialist with Heritage Conservancy in Doylestown, Pennsylvania on behalf of the home's owner at that time, John E.

Also being considered for National Register status that day were the Germantown Grammar School Number 2 (boundary increase) in Philadelphia, the Chickies Historic District in Lancaster County, the Allentown Bank Building on North Seventh Street in Allentown, the South Bethlehem Historic District in Bethlehem, and the Seville Theater in Montgomery County.
