It is a one-and-a-half-story, three-bay, dry-stone hall-parlor plan house, 24 by 35 feet (7.3 m × 10.7 m) in plan. It was built of Upper Ordovician limestone.[2]

In the 1990s, the house was surrounded by grasslands, hundreds of trees, and a shed on the side for storage. Currently, the house is modernized and suburban-like, fitting well into the community.
