- 1115 West Washington Street is a large two-story frame dwelling with a hipped roof, somewhat box-like proportions, and a second hipped-roofed wing set slightly back at the right.
- The broad eaves display simple brackets, and the centrally placed entry is recessed with a partially enclosed porch above.
- A cornice with dentils ornaments the entrance, and the facade design is symmetrical with window placement of the first floor echoed on the second.
- A one-story bay window is seen at the left side of the building.
- A classicizing influence is seen in the compact massing and symmetrical design, as well as in the details at the entrance.
