From the NRHP: "A typical Queen Anne Residence, 2004 Gough features a variety of forms, textures and materials. It is three stories tall with a steep gable roof and two corner turrets with conical roofs. Beneath the gable, its pediment is embellished with a rich carved surface. At the center, a projecting area running from the first through third floor is delineated by a tall brick chimney. At the the third floor, a pair of matching windows are flanked by carved sunburst designs. At the second story level, the third floor overhang creates a shallow porch with a single window framed by a round arch. Closing the arch, between the second and first floor, is the visual focus of the building—a wood panel carved with the design of a grinning mythological beast. At the first floor is a center window surrounded by square panels. The second story and the turrets are sheathed with fish scale shingles while the first floor level and the other elevations are covered with horizontal wood siding. The entrance, around the corner on the south elevation, is a one-story porch topped by a turned wooden balustrade. The ironwork there and at the side gate was added by the Buck family. Although repairs, remodeling and changes in use over the years have resulted in slight exterior modi- fications and the loss of some interior details, both the exterior and interior retain their architectural integrity and clearly illustrate their period of significance."
