It is an example of Queen Anne style, which would have required manufactured parts from far away.[2]

The "La Luz Townsite Multiple Resource Area" study states that this house, "dating to around 1900, is the only structure [in La Luz] which has architectural significance in its own right. The style is generally found in towns affected by the major railroads, i.e. the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific. It is, therefore, unusual to find a rather nice example in a place such as La Luz."[2]

From a 1979 photo, it appears to be a Queen Anne or vernacular Queen Anne cottage, and is perhaps one-and-a-half-stories tall. One element of Queen Anne style is its conical roof on a section of its porch.[3]
