Two-story French Renaissance style house built with a "U" shaped plan. The mansion's exterior, with its park-like setting, evokes images of the country.

Projecting pavilions border a central bank of windows and French doors, leading to a low terrace and the front yard.

The symmetrical exterior design can be seen in its clear and balanced facade.

Heat for the house was piped from the garage at the rear to assure cleanliness. Requirements were from one to two tons of coal a day.
