Each bay, both floors, have three sash units. Across the main (south) façade is a full length porch with nearly flat roof, supported by 4 narrow turned posts and simple railing and balustrade. The posts rest on a wooden porch The main entrances have side by side, centered, new solid paneled doors. Set of wide wooden steps, centered, lead from walk to porch.
