The only unusual feature of Pyle's six-bay Georgian Revival house is the patterned brickwork and tiles in blind arches above the five ground-story windows. The pedimented doorway, modillion cornice, and simple dormers are all common elements drawn from the eighteenth-century vocabulary. It was built for Samuel W. Woodward, the developer of many of the substantial houses on Bancroft Place.
