There are two striking neoclassical features on the façade: Above each window is a rectangular wooden panel decorated with an oval, and above the door are two triangular panels that form a sort of blind arch. The door is topped by a cornice with dentils, which echoes the main cornice at the roofline. There is a large double door between three-over-three sidelights. The main floor, or piano nobile, was reached by a broad staircase that is no longer there. The house is divided into three bays, with the central bay recessed about four inches.
