This two story, 6x3 bay, flat-roofed, polychromatic, Queen Anne style rectangular block has a stone foundation and corner boards. The use of wall surface covering is used to create different textures. Clapboards and fishscale wood shingles are separated by beltcourses in four areas across the walls. The projecting cornice is embellished with six small, scrolled brackets placed between larger brackets and at the front, the cornice extends a bit higher and further out than the side walls and features panels below the brackets. Windows are 2/2 with plain surrounds and the sills are wood with a molded strip at the header height. Two side-by-side front entries, are centrally located within an entry porch embellished with turned posts with brackets, spindle screen and vertical boarded panels beneath porch's shed roof. The doors are paneled and have Queen Anne lights. There is a two story porch on the rear elevation.
This building is a well preserved example of its style translated into wood serving as a residential property. Its close spacing to 95-97 is indicative of land values on a busy commercial street of the late nineteenth century, and the strong housing market in areas near the industries of the waterfront. The building is listed on the Burlington Register of Historic Resources.
