Characteristic of the style, the house exhibits no flat exterior walls and is instead composed of multiple intersecting volumes variously sheathed in horizontal wood siding and fishscale shingles. In addition to the asymmetrical plan, the house incorporates such iconic features as a full octagonal tower, a corner wrap-around veranda, multi-paned windows, leaded glass, and open spindlework detailing. The house is sheltered under a hipped roof with lower cross gables. Though the exact paint colors for the original home is unknown, it currently boasts a six-color “Painted Lady” color scheme.
