"Typical of the Queen Anne Cottage, the plan is irregular and features a polygonal bay with hip roof on the W facade of the NW ell.
This ell retains ornate gable end decorations. A 1 story gable roofed rectangular bay is on the SW corner. An ornate front porch is on the W. It features elaborately turned post, consoles and wide fan brackets with small spindle friezes between. This porch is on a raised concrete slab, a c. 1950's a1teration from the original wood floor. There is an ell on the NE which has an open porch on brick piers on its SE corner. The structure has a dressed stone foundation on the primary façade and field stone on the remaining façades. The roof retains a wide plain cornice which is boxed, but rakes at the gable ends, and also retains its V-shaped wood gutters and brackets, Windows are attenuated and have segmentally arched headers. These are of a soldier course on the primary façade, and rowlock on the other façades.
The residence faced W onto 6th Street. There is an alley to the N & E. On the NE corner of the lot is a vertical board and batten shed. It has a corrugated metal gable roof and a sliding door to the E. The rear yard is partially fenced." ~ Boonville Historic Survey PDF pages 688-692
