Set behind a low stuccoed wall, a low-slung 1½-story, F-plan, wide-eave cross-gable-roof, random-course stone building with the top of the F a section at the building’s west end perpendicular to the street, symmetrical street elevation of tripartite windows flanking a projecting battlemented central pavilion with tripartite window, entrance in the north elevation of the western section, and vehicular storage bays at the east end of the east section’s north elevation, and large random-course chimney near the intersection of the ridgelines.
