Very nice gable roofed two story brick Georgian style structure. Main body is symmetrical and rectangular. No front porch; instead, a distinctive arched entry area with supporting columns, beautiful front door with elliptical transom and sidelights. Matching one story wings on either side of house; one a screened porch and the other a carport; both topped with wooden balustrades. Palladian windows on top of end gables, shallow eaves with dentil course.

Appears to have been destroyed between 1985 and 1994, cause unknown. A single story infill structure was built on the lot in 2001.
