It is an imposing, two-story, hip-roofed brick house with a double-tiered Italianate portico extending across three of the five bays of the facade. It was listed on the National Register on 11 April 1972. Exterior and interior color photos are included in "The Majesty of the Mississippi Delta" (2002) (pp.54-55).
