This one-story, front-gabled house is three bays wide and triple-pile. The house has a brick foundation, vinyl siding and windows, and an interior brick chimney. It retains wood weatherboards in the front gable, exposed rafter tails throughout, and beadboard in the eaves. The hip-roofed front porch is supported by decorative metal posts and has metal railings to match. A shed-roofed ell extends across the rear of the house. A high concrete-block retaining wall exists across the front and west sides of the lot. The building appears on the 1937 Sanborn map; the earliest known occupant is Simon David (bricklayer) in 1940.
