It is a roughly square two-story timber-framed structure, with a hip roof of original metal, and a two-story porch extending across its front facade.

Although it is typical of houses built in Beebe in the 1880s, it is one of only a few of the type to survive.

It was designed by the first owner, William Thomas Abington, who moved to Beebe with his family in the late 1870s.

[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 11, 1992.
