About this property

The house is two stories and follows the basic I-house form, but with a front-facing gable and a pair of one-story wings off the rear. The front porch has Victorian latticed supports and spandrels. The interior features a curved staircase in the entry hall. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
