The building was a single-story brick structure, with a gabled roof and brick foundation. A cross-gabled porch projected from the front, supported by square posts. It originally had a bell tower and vernacular style. During the conversion to a house, the tower was removed, and the Craftsman-style porch was added.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1] After several building experts examined the structural integrity of the house, it was determined that the structure was no longer safe. Accordingly, the structure was demolished on January 23, 2020. It was removed from the National Register in 2024.
