This one-story, side-gabled bungalow is three-bays wide and triple pile with a full-width rear gable. The full-width, front-gabled porch is supported by tapered wood posts on brick piers with a replacement railing. A semi-octagonal bay extends from the left side of the house under a hipped roof. The house retains its overall form, though it has been heavily renovated with a stuccoed foundation, vinyl siding, and vinyl windows throughout. Replacement shingles and a rectangular vent have been installed in the front gable, though original knee braces remain. The earliest known occupants are William C. Whitley (salesman, Belk-Leggett Company) and his wife Virginia in 1930.
