This one-story, front-gabled bungalow is three bays wide and triple-pile with a full-width, engaged front porch and a shed-roofed rear porch. The house has a brick pier foundation with siding-covered curtain wall, aluminum siding throughout, and two interior brick chimneys. It retains original four-over-one, double-hung, Craftsman-style windows throughout and a set of three, four-light windows in the front gable. The front porch is supported by decorative metal posts on brick piers and is accessed by a brick stair. It retains knee braces in the gable ends. A concrete retaining wall with brick cap spans the front of the property and along the south side of the driveway.

Louis E. Austin is listed as living in the house briefly in 1930. Clarence C. Malone is listed as living here in 1931. James Smith is listed here in 1937.
