Its two-story living room is paneled entirely in hand-carved wood and has a cathedral ceiling with wood trusses.

The house served as a social gathering place for Long Beach's elite, hosting performances by notable artists during the early 20th century. This role made it a center of local cultural activity during its heyday.
The building holds the status of a Long Beach Historic Landmark and remains under private ownership. Photography from the street is possible, though interior access may be limited or unavailable.
