The house features asymmetrical massing, topped by a series of hipped roofs with wide overhanging eaves. The front fa9ade is defined by a prominent wrap-around porch, with Tuscan support columns set on a patterned brick rail, and a second-story belvedere sheathed in fish scale shingles, with turned wood posts and an inset Federal-style railing. The interior features high ceilings, late Victorian detailing and several prominent fireplaces. The Joiner-Long House retains a high degree of historic and architectural integrity.
The Free Classic Queen Anne house retains the asymmetrical massing and elaborate forms of the Late Victorian period, but its cleaner lines and classical columns indicate the emergence of Colonial Revival influences. Elements of the Prairie style, including wide overhanging eaves and a series of diamond-patterned windows, are also apparent. The house's wood frame walls rest on a brick pier foundation, which is concealed by metal underpinning, and are sheathed in cypress clapboard siding.
