Signficant Architectural Features:

Original rectangular plan with newer U-shaped construction surrounding the original building on three sides. Original building has a symmetrical facade, two exterior gable end chimneys, denticulate fascia board. Its entrance bay extends out from front elevation and has a gable roof and parapet. The classical door surround consists of pilasters, entablature, and semi-circular arch. Windows are set in brick arches with stone keystones.

Alterations:

The U-shaped addition maintains the classical motif with a symmetrical facade facing Colonial Drive. The centrally-located entrance is within a pedimented porch supported by large round columns. The 8/8 dhs windows are topped by round arches with keystones and brick quoins are located at the corners.
