The old fort is a one-and-one-half story log house with a full stone foundation and cellar. It was built in two sections; the second section being apparently a mirror image of the first. Each section has a separate entrance and chimney, and each section had a basically German floor plan. However, the first floor has been greatly altered, making the original floor plan unclear. The second floor apparently retains its original floor plan with a large hall and two rooms. The fireplaces in the first, or left hand, section of the building have been covered; those in the second remain exposed.
