Designed by architect Ellis F. Lawrence and built in 1911 by the local firm Franchell & Parlin, the house is cited as an "excellent intact example" of his early work. It is a single-family home in Willamette Heights, Northwest Portland, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The house stands in the Willamette Heights neighborhood of Northwest Portland, on a sloping lot whose siting gives views over the city and the surrounding landscape. It is a private single-family home, so visitors see it from the street; the rock walls, landscaping and verandah are visible from outside.
