This two-story, side-gabled house is three bays wide and triple-pile with a full-width, shed-roofed dormer across the façade. It has a brick foundation, vinyl siding, and two interior brick chimneys. With the exception of two original three-light, Craftsman-style windows in the dormer, the windows and front door are modern replacements. The engaged front porch is supported by decorative metal posts and has a brick foundation, slab floor, and metal railing; it has been enclosed on the right end with vinyl siding and windows. The earliest known occupant is Martha Donnell (school teacher) in 1935.
