It is a "galleried cottage", i.e. a small house with a porch (gallery), with vernacular Greek Revival style as interpreted by local builders and carpenters in rural DeSoto Parish.[2]

The front gallery has six Doric posts and end pilasters; there never was a rear gallery. It has chimneys at each of two gable end walls. The house originally had a central hall plan with two rooms on each side.[2]

In 2002 the house was bought and moved from its original location near Mansfield, Louisiana to its actual site at 309 Pine Street, where is now hosting a bed and breakfast.[3]
