The house is covered with German siding, and has a wraparound porch which has been enclosed at the northeast corner. Porch details include battered posts on capped brick piers, an iron balustrade, and capped brick cheek walls at the steps. There is a second porch on the south side with the same details.

The foundation is brick, windows are eight-over-one, front door is multi-light, and there is a retaining wall at the front which has been stuccoed. The original fieldstone wall is exposed on the south side. House sits on a hill, on a corner lot, with an alley to the rear. Occupants of the house have included Robert S. Gibbs Jr., an engineer with Duke Power Company, and wife Isabella (1939 - 1940); Everett O.
