Architecture
The house is an example of Stick-Eastlake style of architecture. It is a version of the Queen style where the wooden strips were applied to the exterior of the structure in vertical, horizontal and on the diagonal to give it a basket-like quality. Other decorative features were also applied to exterior of this house including the decoratively carved front porch that features an openwork tympanum at its gable end, the diagonal stickwork in the front gable end, a beltcourse of vertical strips between the first and second floor and molded vergeboards.
