History and architectural features
The original house was built circa 1855, as a typical brick Philadelphia rowhouse consisting of a front building, piazza, and back building. It was extensively remodeled and enlarged to its present form between 1893 and 1894.

As presently formed, it consists of a four-story front building that is approximately thirty-four feet wide and thirty-six feet deep. It is connected to a four-story back building, by a four-story section. Attached to the back building is a three-story, brick wing and two-story wing. A four-story fire tower was added in 1922. It has an eclectic front facade of Pompeiian brick with sandstone and terra cotta trim.
