Like the house at 18 George Street, this is a typical turn-of-the-19th-century middle class house: 5 bays wide with a center entrance and exterior architectural focus on the principal doorway. Slightly later than the house on George Street, this has a center hallway penetrating into the mass of the house and chimneys located on the exterior side walls — a configuration coming into common use in the early years of the 19th century. The Doric entrance porch is unusual for smaller-scale Providence houses of this period, although it did appear more frequently in contemporary houses in northern Rhode Island.
