The house is a -story, rectangular wood and stone dwelling with a rear kitchen wing. The house features elaborately patterned stone arches and sills and a "cure porch." The outbuildings include a wood shed, machine shed housing a wood cutter, wellhouse, root cellar, ice house, barn, and a caretaker's house.[1]
