Originally the house was built with an open dogtrot which has now been enclosed at the north-south entrance to form a dining area. According to Breckinridge, it was a true dogtrot when the house was first built, open all the way through. In time, Breckinridge put up glass at the two ends, but the dogtrot still retained its character with its inside walls of rough logs resembling outside walls. Breckinridge kept a long sofa there, which was used to put up overnight guests. Two offices, a kitchen, large pantry, and an enclosed sun porch are included in the downstairs of the building.
All major rooms contain stone fireplaces.
To the east approximately 100 yards is the log barn, once used as a stable, now converted into rooms for the Frontier Nursing Service. A large two-story frame dormitory is a few feet from the barn. Today Wendover remains as it was built, with very minor modifications. Prior to 1940 the dogtrot and downstairs sun porch were enclosed and in 1980 the coal furnace was replaced with heat pumps.
