It is a two-story, six-bay, eclectic dwelling built of uncoursed fieldstone. The house is rectangular in plan and has a wood shingled roof with overhanging twin gables. The front entrance is a Dutch door and features a portico supported by two square, bracketed columns. The carriage house is a two-story, wood frame, stucco covered, Tudor style building built in 1901. It features a two-story, polygonal bay with a polygonal roof. Frederick W.
