The roofline of the gable is decorated by corbelled brickwork resembling vergeboard. It features a wraparound front porch added about 1900, and a decorative vergeboard. Portions of the roof are decorated with vergeboard, finials, and crenellated parapets. Paneled vergeboard in blue and cream is at the gable roofline. Its gables are adorned with jigsawn vergeboard, with the main gables topped by decorative finials. The projecting taller section frames the main entrance, and has elaborate hand-carved vergeboard decoration. Another vergeboard decorates the rear (north) gable and a two-story kitchen wing on the north.
