A number of additions and alterations have been made to the house, the most substantial of which all appear to have been made in the historic period. These include brick and stone additions on the side and rear, stuccoing of much of the facade, and the replacement of several original windows and doors. The interior has been extensively remodeled to accommodate current uses. Overall, the house retains its historic integrity. The house is a part of the Weber Basin Job Corp Center at the base of the Wasatch Mountains and the mouth of Weber Canyon. It is located amid a large grouping of trees and lawn area that provides a visual separation from the remaining Weber Basin Job Corp Center. The property originally associated with this home extended west to U.S. Highway 89 and the land now occupied by the sand and gravel pits. Physical evidence suggests the house was built over several periods. The original section of the house was probably constructed prior to 1870. The Victorian addition on the south appears to have been built c.1890-1900, the brick addition c.1915, and the stone addition on the north side c.1935. (See sketch plan, . "Building Chronology".) The original section of the house is a temple form house type that was popular in Utah from 1847-75, indicating that the first portion of this house was built prior to 1886. The oldest portion of the building is constructed of native river and mountain rock that was quarried nearby. The Victorian addition on the south suggests this portion of the house was built after 1886. The west-facing primary facade includes a porch supported by latheturned posts and Eastlake style detailing consisting of ornate bargeboard trim around the top of the porch roof. The stone on the south end has been laid in courseS r the gable end is narrow and incorporates fishscale shingles, and the windows have wooden sills.
