The house is located on the corner of Franklin Street just south of the square. The neighborhood is residential, with large trees lining the streets. The other houses are similar in size to the Todd House, either in Greek Revival as well or other
Victorian styles. An iron fence runs along the north and east edges of the property; there is a parking lot in the rear. It is two stories high, with a square three-by-three-
bay central block and seven-bay T-shaped rear wing. The
siding is
clapboard over wood
frame with diagonal brick braces. A wide
entablature goes down to the middle of the second story windows;
fretwork flanks the three on the east (front)
facade. The main entrance is flanked by projecting
bay windows. The mostly flat roof is pierced by six chimneys. On that elevation, a full-height
pedimented
portico with four
Doric fluted columns shelters the main entrance. It is one of five porches on the building. Two on the north side, facing Division Street, have colonnades echoing that on the front. On the west (rear), the only portion of the building with a
gabled roof, there is a small upstairs porch and larger enclosed one downstairs. Inside, the central hall has a double staircase that converges into a curved single one. The
drawing room runs the length of the south side of the house on the first story. It is divided with a semi-elliptical arch. On the west end of the living room two
French doors lead into the music room. ==History==
