The single-story brick structure was designed in the Mid-Century Modern style by Wittenberg, Delony & Davidson, and built in 1958.

The architectural style is a departure from the rest of the firm's work for SAU, which is predominantly Colonial Revival in character.

The house is set north and east of the university's athletic fields, away from the main campus buildings.

It was used as the official residence of the university president until the summer of 2001, and has since 2003 housed the SAU Foundation.
