These buildings are typically of light-framed, wood construction , where each floor usually consists of a single apartment, and frequently, originally, extended families lived in two, or all three floors.

The ground floor is finished in wide wooden clapboards, while the upper floors are finished in wooden shingles. The main facade is asymmetrical, with a recessed porch stack on the left and bands of four sash windows on the right.
