The rectangular-shaped main block is capped with a steeply pitched cross gabled roof.

A large, rectangular tower is prominent on the main facade, as is the front porch that ends in a pyramid shaped turret.

When constructed, the home featured a rare luxury of the time; indoor running water on all three floors.

Rain water was collected by way of channels in the roofing system and directed into a 700 gallon reservoir in the third floor.
