It is a one-story stone house about 28 feet (8.5 m) by 48 feet (15 m) in plan with a hipped roof and exposed rafters. It has windows and a front door with concrete lintels. Its architecture seems to reflect Bungalow architecture as well as other influence.[2]
It was deemed significant as an example of vernacular architecture and for association with Jack Oughton, who worked as a stonemason around Shoshone for more than three decades, and whose home it was.[2]
