The house was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1] It is a two-story cross-gable main section with a two-story rear-gabled wing, built of load-bearing brick masonry walls. Italianate aspects include its scrolled brackets, limestone sills supported by brackets, brick dentil molding below the cornice, wood dentil molding above. It was built on a limestone ashlar foundation. The front facade's main feature is a one-story porch with a flat roof, single and triple columns, and scrolled brackets.[3]

The house was renovated and relocated in 2004 a short distance to the east and now sits prominently in the "town square" of a new urbanism neighborhood called Smith's Crossing.[4]
