Characteristic features are the boxy form with hip-roof, the small dormer window in front, siding of narrow clapboards, classic cornice with dentile (small square blocks projecting as from under a cornice) moldings and round columned porch topped by a balustrade.

It was converted after its move to a restaurant and now is used as offices.
