This one-story, side-gabled Minimal Traditional house is three bays wide and triple-pile, with a full-width gabled rear ell, a projecting gabled entrance bay centered on the façade, and a shed-roofed projecting bay to the right of the entrance. The house has a painted brick foundation, aluminum siding, and an exterior brick chimney on the east elevation. It retains six-over-six, double-hung wood sash windows with an eight­over-eight, double-hung window on the left end of the façade and metal jalousie windows in the right-most bay. An arched, four-light front door is accessed by a brick stoop and sheltered by an aluminum awning. An aluminum awning supported by metal posts covers a stoop on the east elevation. A stone wall with integrated stone stair extends across the front of the property. County tax records date the building to 1940; the earliest known occupant is Howard Herndon (laborer, Liggett & Myers) in 1945.

Garage, c. 1940 – The front-gabled, frame two-car, garage has wood weatherboards and two open vehicular bays.
