The home was built in 1879 at 229 Lafayette Street.[1] It is in the Queen Anne style with Eastlake architecture features. In 2000, the house was designated a local historic landmark.[2]

It exemplifies the Queen Anne style, with a square tower on the southwest corner and an elaborate vergeboard in the north gable. The porch posts, brackets, and spindles reflect the Eastlake style.[3]
