It is a 45 by 15 feet (13.7 m × 4.6 m) log house built with horizontal logs with some mud plaster. It has a very steep corrugated metal roof, and vertical planking in both of its gable ends. It has chamfered porch posts. A shed-roofed addition, about 20 by 10 feet (6.1 m × 3.0 m) on its southwest corner.[2]
It was deemed significant as "a well-preserved, slightly-modified example of Hispanic log housing. The dovetail notching, half dovetail joints and steep roof are somewhat unusual. The linear, modular composition, multiple doors and gable doors are typical."[2]
It was altered by an opening cut into one of its short ends so that it could be used as a garage.[2]
It is located on the east side of La Puente Rd. about 250 yards (230 m) south of Hatchery Rd., just above the drop-off from the first plateau to the river.[2]
