The house's main entrance is within a wraparound front porch supported by wooden columns; the oak front doors include beveled glass panels and decorative moldings. The roof of the house features a large gable with half-timbered woodwork; a smaller half-timbered gable is located above the front entrance. The interior decorations of the house include carved oak woodwork throughout, a tiled fireplace in the living room, and stained glass windows in the library.
