The Home is a three-story building nine
bays wide on its western (front)
facade, where the basement is also exposed. It is faced in brick laid in running bond with
granite trim, over masonry walls on a
balloon frame. The
sheet metal roof has a wide
cornice with large, vertically elongated
brackets at the corners and smaller ones in between. A five-bay
pavilion projects from the east, with a
veranda running its full length. It is enclosed by a
baluster railing, which continues down the steps, and supported by freestanding columns at the front and engaged ones at the rear. Similar, smaller verandas can be found on the other sides. Inside, the rear stairway has a large carved
newel post. Both parlors have
Neoclassical black marble mantels that were preserved from an earlier building. Two later black marble mantels are in the reception room, which has a carved Louis XVI-style wooden
screen supported by four
Corinthian columns. ==History==
