The house stands near Emelle in Sumter County, Alabama, at coordinates 32.78110, -88.26890. It is a private rural property with no visitor facilities or set tour times recorded in the sources, so the exterior is what can be seen from the public approach. The five-bay facade and full-width porch are best viewed from the front.

The bracketed cornice runs around all four sides of the house, not just the front facade, a detail visible from any angle of the exterior. The same bracketed Greek Revival combination appeared in Alabama between the 1850s and 1890s.
