The house, built in the popular Italianate style, was designed to be symmetrical, with a central hallway on each floor opening onto an identical layout on either side. On the first floor, the hallway divides the formal sitting and dining areas on the north side - used for entertaining and special occasions - from the less formal sitting rooms to the south.
