The house was built in 1912 in Centennial Hill, a middle- and upper-class African-American neighborhood.

The house is a clapboard cottage with a pyramidal roof and gable on the south side of the façade.

A full-width shed roofed porch runs across the front, and the entry door has diamond-paneled sidelights and transom.

During the remodel, the back porch was enclosed and converted to a second bathroom, and the kitchen was modernized.
