Two-story wood frame house with a high basement and stone foundation, featuring ballasters along the roof and a single-story porch. The porch, which spans the front of the house, is a later addition, supported by six Ionic columns. One or two of the original columns, which were carved from solid pine, were sawed in half and used in the door frame. Fanlights decorate the Palladian entrance and window above. The roof is a low sloped one with two interior stuccoed chimneys. The old kitchen, a small Greek Revival structure of granite blocks, still stands in the backyard. Before 1860, the front and back porches were enlarged. For more information see Linley, John. Architecture of Middle Georgia: the Oconee Area. Athens, Ga.: University of Georgia Press, c1972, p. 38.
