This house, believed to have been constructed in the late 1800s, was originally smaller than its current size. It is a single-story home, with a one gable roof and wood frame construction. The "gingerbread" trim across the front is handmade and of the same pattern as that of the Trabue Cottage in the Punta Gorda History Park. This "gingerbread" design is also in the Farrington House. The wood frame exterior is cypress, the interior is that of Florida heart pine. The original weighted windows are still in place with their wide frames and wood sills, plus the wavy distorted glass of the past. The small bedrooms are typical of those found in homes of that era.
