This one-story, gable-front-and-wing house is four bays wide and triple-pile with a large shed-roofed addition at the rear and a flush gable on the right end of the façade. The house has been altered significantly with the loss of all original doors and windows. Picture windows have been installed on the façade and the building is clad in vinyl. The house has a brick pier foundation with concrete-block curtain wall. The shed-roofed front porch is supported by tapered wood posts on painted brick piers on a concrete slab floor. The house is now a barbershop and the front yard has been paved for parking. The building appears on the 1913 Sanborn map. It is listed as vacant in the 1920 city directory; the earliest known occupant is Walker Mebane (laborer) in 1925.
