ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTION
Its construction date places it between two common architectural styles, Neoclassical and Craftsman and the house has elements of both which places it as an Eclectic architectural style. It has a cross gabled roof with a Classical Pediment on the street facing gable. The enclosed entrance porch typical with a hipped roof a is typical of the Folk Victorian style combined with round columns of a Neoclassical type.

The wooden shingle cladding of the upper story is very interesting, the front cladding of the upper story is rows of a combination of 'fish scale' and 'crenellated' shingles, the south gable is clad with 'plain' shingles set at irregular intervals. This type of cladding is characteristic of the Craftsman style. Additionally, the exterior wall cladding of the house, horizontal lap board siding and wood shingles are Craftsman elements.
