This one-and-a-half story, asymmetrical side-gabled house is three bays wide and triple-pile with a full-height projecting front-gabled entrance bay, two gabled front dormers, and an exposed basement at the rear. The house has a continuous brick foundation and veneer with a prominent exterior brick chimney on the façade and aluminum siding on the dormers. It retains eight-over-eight, double-hung wood sash windows on the façade and second floor gable ends, six-over-six, double-hung wood sash windows in the dormers and front gable, and a four-light round window in the front gable. There are nine-light casement windows on the east and west elevations and six-light metal casement windows at the basement level. A picture window on the right end of the façade is flanked by six-over-six, double-hung windows. The plain wood front door and porch are sheltered by a metal awning supported by decorative metal posts and has a decorative metal railing, terra cotta floor, and wood ramp. The earliest known occupant is Reginald C. George (carpenter, Home Modernizations and Supply Company) in 1955.
