"Two-story frame home with hipped roof and slightly projecting pedimented cross gable. The gable ends are filled with imbricated shingles and the house retains its original wood siding and plain window trim. The entrance is located in the center bay and has sidelights on either side of the door. On the second floor is a tall window flanked by shorter stained glass windows, which is a play on a Palladian style window. There is a full width front porch with dentiled cornice and squared columns. Over the steps is a low pediment. An interior marble fireplace was salvaged from the original Westminster Hall on the Westminster College campus following the fire that destroyed it. An outbuilding of unknown date is located behind the house.
"The home was built by Turner Rosser who was the manager of Lacrosse Lumber company and also was the first president of Fulton Savings and Loan Association." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
