A wooden framed two story villa with embossed red roof tiles,features four French floor-to-ceiling paned windows on the first floor centering a pair of double glass doors.

The interior features six rooms including the foyer; there is a toilet room,and a staircase between floors. The house has original red and ochre paint,and the interior rooms have original paper on walls and floors,and some original lace curtains. Condition: played with,and in need of restoration,albeit many original elements remain on the rarely found house. Pencil script mark "6337" on underside. Gottschalk,circa 1910.
