 When built c. 1902, the house featured transitional Queen Anne/Colonial Revival styling, including a porch with turned posts and a spindled balustrade.A tornado damaged the house in the early 1920s, destroying a dormer, and probably damaging the porch, whose columns where replaced by Tuscan columns, and then at a later date by square posts.At some point the dormers on the eastern elevation were extended, giving the house a more Plain-Traditional appearance than its original Queen Anne look.
