Architect David Adler gave the house a French Renaissance Revival design inspired by the French château La Lanterne.

Adler was well known for his eclectic designs, and French architecture heavily influenced his work.

The house's design includes a symmetrical plan, quoins and other ornamental brickwork, limestone pilasters and pediments, casement windows, and five chimneys.

[2] The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 8, 2000.
