The house is an example of the Gable Front type of the Side Hall plan, a vernacular style popular for much of the 19th century.

The Side Hall plan as exhibited in the house features two rooms on each story connected by a hall to the side; the Gable Front type reflects its roof form, a gable roof with a front-facing gable.

Elements of several popular architectural styles decorate the house, such as the Greek Revival entrance, Italianate arched windows, and Gothic pointed arches on the porch.

[2] The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 7, 1996.
