The ornately decorated Italianate house was built c. 1865 for R. P. Turnbull, a partner in the Tidd Tannery.

The main block of the house follows a typical Italianate three-bay plan with a large central cross gable section on the roof.

The main cornice is studded with paired brackets, and the gable ends have decorative shingle work around round-arch windows, with some Stick style decorative woodwork at the point of the gable.
