As a widow, she supported her family of eight children by managing a large dairy farm and keeping boarders. A central porch with gable is perpendicular to the low-pitched house roof and projects beyond the roof overhangs. Overhangs on the main facade and the porch roof are supported by square wood posts set on square concrete and stucco piers. Bungalow stylistic features include open eaves, brackets under the porch gable and roof overhangs, and vertical ventilator louvers on the porch gable vent. Characteristic of bungalow styling, windows on the east and west ends of the main facade are paired and double hung, while the central window grouping consists of a single double-hung window with sidelights.
All windows are wood-framed.
The wide, low concrete porch is a single step up and leads to an offset single-door entry.
