The Aycock-Crews House is typical of 19th-century vernacular housing in Texas with detailing drawn from the design idiom of the Queen Anne style.
Facing southeast onto Main Street, the dwelling is sheathed with wood siding and surmounted by an elaborate roofscape of hipped and gable roof forms. An exterior brick chimney rises above the ridgeline on the southwest elevation. An inset 2-tiered extends across the full width of the primary elevation, consisting of a lower level of five bays capped by a shed roof and an upper level of one bay capped by a gable roof. Porch detailing includes turned-wood columns, stickwork balustrade and spindled frieze, with paired columns at the entry bay of the first level and on the second level. Fenestration includes a single-door entrance on ground floor and double-hung wood sashes with 2/2 lights.
