The Edward Ferris House is an elaborately decorated two-and-one-half-story, Queen Anne-inspired, clapboard-sheathed building, set on a stone foundation. It features bracketed eaves, bay windows, and decorative porches. Gables are decorated with ornately patterned, Moorish-arched verge boards with intricate cut-out designs, and contain an oculus or paired round arched windows which light the hip-and-gable roofed attic. Three corbel-capped fireplace chimneys pierce the roof of the main portion of the structure, while a fourth chimney extends up from the half-hipped, one story kitchen "ell" at the house's western elevation
