While Queen Anne houses of its era would often have Eastlake detailing, this house is unusual for having ornament which is almost all Colonial Revival in style. These elements include a Palladian window, the simple Tuscan columns on the house's wraparound gallery, and denticular molding under the eaves of the main block and on the turret and dormer.^[2]

It was deemed "locally significant as a superior example of the Queen Anne Revival style within the context of the several parish region of North Louisiana. It achieves this distinction because of its complex massing, culminating in a turret. The house is also important for its well-detailed and well-preserved interiors."^[2]
