It is a two-story house, with a five-bay main section having a dominant Spanish tile roof, with one-story Roman arcades at each side. It was constructed by builder H.L. McBride.
It is an "attractive" house, eclectic in design, with Italian Renaissance influences.
It was listed on the National Register as part of the San Angelo Multiple Resources study.
It was accepted as a "significant example of eclectic and Italian Renaissance design styles". Architect Anton Korn is also known for his design of the Tom Green County Courthouse, also in San Angelo and included in the same study.
In 1988, it was reported to be in use as a funeral home. 2019 imagery suggests it is a private residence again, while the property behind it, across an alley, is in fact a funeral home.
