While its architect is unknown, it exhibits similarities to Frank Lloyd Wright's Mayan Period.[1] The house features geometric wall decorations, truncated, stylized piers, and paired sculpted shapes on the heavy fascia of the broad overhanging hip roof. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
