It is a two-story wood-frame structure, with a nearly flat shed roof, clapboarded exterior, and stone foundation.

The building's architectural styling is limited to brackets in its eaves and a decorative spindled valance on the front porches.

A covered stairway extends up the back of the right side, providing access to the rear unit of the building.

About 1890 it was converted into three units, raising the main block's roof from a gable to its present shed-roof configuration, and building a large ell onto the rear.

The original rear of the property, facing St. Mary's Street, had a second house built on it and was separated from this lot.
