 It is a wood frame structure, presenting 1½ stories to the road, and 2½ to the west because of the steeply sloping terrain.Its form is that of an L-shaped Colonial Revival house, but it is covered by a roof that is hipped on the main block and gabled on the ell, that extends further than normal for the form.The eaves are supported by large decoratively cut brackets, giving the building the flavor of an alpine chateau.
