This two and a half story, 4x4 bay, gable front, slate-roofed, Colonial Revival style apartment house has a full width two story front porch. The foundation is concrete block and sides of the first story of the building are brick, and the rest is sided with wood shingles. There is a plain fascia and a stringcourse between the first and second story. Two side-by-side entries are located at the left bay on the first floor and one door on the second floor. Wood doors have single lights and panels. With the exception of one, all windows are 1/1 double-hung with plain surrounds and a small drip cap; on the front there are single units at the center bay and paired at the right bay. The gable end holds a paired window with a plain surround. The rear gable features two 6/6 double hung windows and the east elevation first floor windows have flat, brick arches. The porch features a hipped roof, half wall with square posts on the first floor and Tuscan columns on the second. The first floor porch is partially screened in with the porch entrance at the left bay. There is a pedimented dormer on the east side with wood shingle siding and a paired window. A rear stairway and porch, now enclosed has turned posts supporting the shed roof. There is a centrally located chimney.

Early Sanborn maps from 1889, 1900 and 1912 indicate that the main block was originally one and a half stories and that it featured a large one story rear addition. In 1926 it was a two story building, and in 1942 it was two and a half stories.
