The house's physical characteristics reflect the irregular massing, detailing, hip roof and projecting gables of the other Wilson block residences. Wrapping around the north and west facades, the one-story porch is supported by paired round columns with molded bases and capitals on brick piers.
A shingled arched spandrel wall extends from each set of columns. This arched motif is repeated in a three part window grouping in the projecting gables of the north and west facades. The central window in the group is a single one over one sash window flanked by smaller triangular lights under a molded round arch. Sidelights and a three-part transom frame the broad front door which is pierced by roundglass in the top half of the door. The house rests upon a raised pier foundation with brick foundation walls.
