The exterior of the house consists of contrasting textures, with staggered shingles at the gable ends, patterned shingles at the second floor level and beveled shiplap siding at the first floor level, finished off at the bottom with a wood detailed water table. Each type of siding is separated from the other by a horizontal wood divider string board. Corner boards capped at top with elaborate corbels provide transition in the direction of wall shingles at wall ends. The porch extends around the three principal elevations of the house and helps keep the interior relatively cool during the hot summer days. Porch details at railing and stairs are made from simple rectangular wood members intermixed with cut out details of arches and circles.

The interior of the Meux Home is typically Victorian. No part of a wall or ceiling is left undecorated. This was accomplished by papering all walls and ceilings. A picture mold is used in all rooms to separate the ceiling paper from the wall finish. All millwork and details are stock mill-made units.
