An elaborate example of Prairie School architecture by Louis Singleton Curtiss, it originally served as a residence.

Designed by noted architect Louis S. Curtiss it reflects a Prairie School practice of combining Second Empire, Art Nouveau and Neoclassical architectural elements.

The foundation is uncoursed large block and the primary wall material is rock faced Jackson County limestone with a random pattern.

The building and the addition on the north built the next year are important examples of the work of Kansas City architect Louis S. Curtiss.
