DescriptionArchitectural plans for a two and a half story Colonial Revival frame house and a one story, two-bay frame garage. The residence has a side-gabled roof with two front-facing, slightly projecting cross gables. There is a hipped dormer with tripartite window on the facade and two hipped dormers on the rear elevation. The house is faced with stucco. The majority of fenestration is either 6/1 or 4/1 double-hung sash. There are two tripartite arrangements on the first story of the facade and round multi-pane windows in the front-facing gable ends. Two quarter-round windows flank the chimney on the gable end of the south (side) elevation. There is a partial-width, recessed porch on the west (front) elevation and a two story porch with hipped roof and paired doric supports on the rear (east) elevation. The garage has a front-facing pitched roof and is faced with stucco. The doors are wood paneled with multi-pane windows in their upper halves.
Nine drawings are included in the set; north, south, east, and west elevations; garage elevations and floor plans; as well as attic and roof, cellar, first floor, and second floor plans.

The second floor plan includes four chambers, closets, two bathrooms, hall, two stairwells, and a sleeping porch. The attic and roof plan contains three chambers, a bathroom, and several storage areas.
