It is a two-story five-bay brick I-house. The house "represents a transitional style, containing both Federal and Greek Revival elements. The Flemish bond brickwork evident on the front facade and the jack arches over the bays express the Federal style, while the front entrances and much of the interior trim reflect the Greek Revival."[2]

It is located on the north side of Court Street, across from the 1845 Livingston County Courthouse, which also is NRHP-listed.
