This one-story, hip-roofed bungalow is three bays wide and double-pile with a hipped rear ell on the southeast corner and a shed-roofed block west of the ell. The house has a painted brick foundation, aluminum siding, and an interior brick chimney. Original exterior doors and windows have been replaced. The full width, engaged front porch is supported by tapered wood posts on painted brick piers with an original wood railing. A low, stone wall extends across the front of the property and along the driveway, with a concrete stair at the front and an integrated stone stair from the driveway. The earliest known occupant is William T. Strayhorn (porter) in 1925.
