The two and one-half story main block is symmetrically composed and rises to a gable roof. Plain cornerboards rise from a weatherboarded water table to an entablature composed of a molded architrave and cornice and a plain frieze.
Doric columns support an entablature highlighted by a denticulated cornice.
Sidelights, set above a recessed molded panel, border the front entrance. An interior chimney with an exposed face rises above the roofline and terminates in a corbeled cap. Three eyebrow windows also project from the roofline. A Palladian window, centrally place in each end gable, highlights the side elevations. The four-bay west elevation is symmetrically composed.
