This house is a long, rectangular, cross-gabled, two-family house with a brick foundation. The first story is fronted by a deep, full width, roofless porch with plain brick piers and an arcaded brick railing with a stone coping. Two doors flank a two-story canted bay window. The shingled attic gable is cantilevered out over the bay window with frieze board ornamented with a plain wooden escutcheon and plain bargeboards at the eaves. The porch roof was removed circa 1976. The door to the porch was converted into a window.

The interior is divided into two flats. The living rooms and dining rooms are finished with textured plaster walls, hardwood floors, and stained oak woodwork in the Colonial Revivial style. The windows and doors are enframed in flat oak casings with a molded cap. The dining rooms are finished with oak board and plaster wainscoting topped by a plate rail, and a built-in buffet with drawers, glass cabinet doors and a mirrored serving niche. A pair of Ionic columns on wood pedestals frame the entrance to the dining room. The most notable alteration to the interior was the removal of a partial wall between the reception hall and the living room in each unit. The upper flat retains three art glass windows and has a reading alcove with a built-in bookcase.
