Built in 1920, it is a local example of Georgian Revival architecture, designed by the New York architect Alfredo S.G. Taylor.

[1] The Low House stands in a small residential area east of Norfolk's village center, down a private lane extending south from Laurel Way Extension.

It consists of two rectangular 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structures in the Georgian style, joined at right angles at one corner.

A single-story porch in the shape of a circle segment is located at the crook of the L, supported by paired round columns.

[2] The house was built in 1920 for the Low family, who were friends with the Nobles who lived next door.
