According to the 1988 listing document, it is located at the end of County Highway 1221, which "deadends right in front of the house",[2] The listing states that the "boundary for the James E. Slaton House is drawn to include the house and adjacent yard which has historically associated with the house and immediate outbuildings. The boundary excludes 20th century barns and outbuildings to the east of the property."[2]
The home was part of a study of historic resources in Hopkins County.[3]
The house "is a two-story frame, five bay, central passage plan I-House." It is on a hill overlooking small tributaries of the Pond River in a rural area of the county where strip mining took place. A two-story porch was added to its west side in 1895 and extends across three of the home's five bays. The porch includes square columns with Doric influenced capitals and square balusters on the railings.[2] When listed in 1988, it was at the dead-end of county highway 1221.
