The house is designed in the Second Empire style, which was inspired by French architecture and popular in the United States from the 1860s through the 1880s. A mansard roof with two projecting dormers, a key feature of Second Empire designs, tops the house; the roof has cornices at the top and bottom and paired brackets along its eaves. The house also features three porches, all of them part of the original design, and arched windows.
