| Appearance |
The windows and doors are characterized by patterns and details customarily associated with Queen Anne architecture. The exposed rafter tails at all of the roofs and the large built up piers at the entry porch are Craftsman style elements. The details are applied to a foursquare scheme (or vernacular pyramidal form). The dormers suggest a cruciform plan at the upper level.
Some windows appear to have been moved and/or replaced at the north elevation. The house was clad with composition shakes for several years after the late 1950s but has been returned to its original appearance. The ends of the rafters are partially obscured by added gutters.
