This one-story, side-gabled Minimal Traditional house is three bays wide and double-pile with a gabled rear ell on the southwest corner. The house has a continuous brick veneer and an interior brick chimney. It retains original six-over-six, double-hung wood sash windows with a picture window flanked by divided-light casement windows on the right end of the façade. The projecting, front-gabled porch is supported by tapered wood columns and has molded weatherboards in the gable and aluminum awnings on three sides. A stone wall extends across the front of the property, interrupted by a brick stair to the front walk; the wall has been faced with stucco in some areas. County tax records date the building to 1940; the earliest known occupants are Clarence C. Tilley (porter, Union Station) and his wife Pearl (teacher) in 1945.

Garage, c. 1950 – The front-gabled, concrete-block garage has wood siding in the gable and a modern metal door.
