An architectural description of the house can be found on page 30 of the nomination form:
(Submitted on September 21, 2023, by Devry Becker Jones of Washington, District of Columbia.)The Rixie-Yancey House reflects the traditional rural character of late nineteenth/early twentieth century houses on South East Street. The side-gabled, 2-story, wood frame, ca. 1880-1890 house has a fish scale, pressed-tin front gable with a decorative carved bargeboard and centered ventilator. There are 1/1-sash windows, an undivided glass transom and sidelights at the front entry. The 1-story porch, which has Tuscan columns and a plain balustrade, extends across the three-bay South East Street faηade. The rear wing to the west has contemporary casement windows; the house retains the back stair to a servants room over the kitchen. A rusticated simulated stone retaining wall has been added recently in conjunction with entrance stairs that approach the front porch from the north.
