A 1½-story, 3-bay-façade, side-hall-plan house set gable end to the street with a stone-and-brick foundation, sidelight-flanked principal entrance with transom light, 6-over-6 windows, late 19th-century full-width 1-story front porch with braced chamfered posts, small 1-story ell at the east end of the north elevation, and a small chimney centered on the ridgeline. Owned in the 1870s by the Richmond Manufacturing Company, it became the home of mason Robert McIntosh in the 1880s. This is a typical vernacular Greek Revival cottage whose stylish late Italianate porch assuaged its seeming plainness and age.
