The overall appearance is representative of the popular I-house. The main block is of mortise and tenon construction and extends three bays in width and two bays in depth. The original weatherboard sheathing remains on the side elevations. A two-story porch, which shelters the main facade, also appears to be a later addition and may date from the early twentieth century when Mount Vernon style porches were widely incorporated onto new and existing dwellings. The wooden porch piers rise to a shed roof which covers a boxed roofline cornice.
Plain surrounds frame the sash windows .
The house originally rested upon random blocks of fieldstone and was later underpinned with brick. Side elevations rise to a flush gable, a common vernacular motif of the Federal style. Single step shoulder chimneys are centrally placed within the gables. Each chimney is constructed of handmade brick arranged in Flemish bond . On the east chimney, a portion of the stack and cap have been rebuilt using manufactured brick.
