In a survey for Historic Savannah Foundation, Mary Lane Morrison found the building to be of significant status.[5][6]
It is a one-storey gable-ended building finished in clapboard. It has a Federal-style center hall, which is flanked by a duo of sash windows. The house's stoop and steps lead up beyond a low basement. A porch was added in the 20th century.[4]
This home, and the nearby Hampton Lillibridge House, were restored by Jim Williams.[7]
