Construction is 2 stories, rectangular, low hipped roof with dormers, veranda on 3 sides supported by square wooden pillars, front center entrance with transom and sidelights, interior chimneys, doors and tall windows for ventilation, 18-22" stone walls, with lathe & plaster interior; early plumbing and wiring intact but brought up to code, many original furnishings. This is anglo-territorial-style architecture well suited for the desert climate.
