The central entrance features a two-panel door with a 20th-century gabled tile porch. To the left of the door is a two-light casement window, and to the right are two single-light casements. On the first floor, there are three two-light casements. The roof is hipped to the right, with a ridge stack on the right and an end stack on the left. The interior has not been inspected.
