This house is of the German type, entrance being flush with the sidewalk, and it has gardens in the rear. The house is very plain, and of unpretentious design, the mantels and fireplaces having been removed during one of its several remodelings. The doors are four panel, one cross, and are nicely grained. The hardware is plain, the floor boards are of medium width and the walls are papered. All windows have been remodeled, although the shutters were retained.

This is one of the oldest houses in New Market, Virginia, and is considered by some to be the oldest.
