This two-story, gambrel-roofed Dutch Colonial Revival house is three bays wide and double-pile with full-width, shed-roofed dormers on the façade and rear elevation. The house has a brick foundation, vinyl siding, and two brick chimneys, an interior chimney near the center of the house and an exterior chimney on the north elevation. It retains four-over-one, double-hung, Craftsman-style windows throughout; windows on the façade are paired. The replacement front door retains original six-light-over-one-panel, Craftsman-style sidelights; it is sheltered by a projecting front-gabled porch with a vaulted ceiling supported by wood columns. A gabled porch on the north elevation is also supported by wood columns and has a slab floor and decorative metal railings; it shelters a nine-light, Craftsman-style door. The front porch is accessed by a brick stair with brick knee walls and has a metal railing. A low brick retaining wall extends across the front of the property and has an integral brick stair.

The earliest known occupant is Eugene Tatum (barber) in 1930; Henrietta Lyon occupied the house from at least 1935-1940.
