Over his years in Muscatine, he was a lumber merchant, saloon operator, cultivator manufacturing and merchandising groceries, provisions, and the like. The house is one of the few early structures that remain in the oldest residential section of town.^[2] It has been re-purposed to house a local Insurance Agency.

The Federal style house is a two-story structure that measures approximately 40 by 25 feet (12.2 by 7.6 m).^[2] The exterior of the double house is composed of red brick laid in common bond with headers every eighth course. The main facade features a symmetrical arrangement of openings. A major renovation of the house was undertaken in 1964. The original porches, front doors, and windows were removed.
