"The Joseph H. Frisby house is a two story brick house with an irregular plan.
The irregular plan is determined by the roof configuration of a central pyramid intersected on three sides by projecting gables.
A one story porch wraps around the northeast corner of the facade and is terminated at each end by one of the projecting opelted wings.
The porch is supported on Tuscan columns that extend from the side of one gabled wing under the eaves of the pyramidal roof to the other gabled wing.
Classical detailing appears in the cornice and in the porch.
The boxed cornice has brackets and a frieze decorated by dentils.
A pediment with Classical Revival decoration on its tympanum and dentils on its frieze is located above the steps leading to the main entrance.
Of particular note in the fenestration are the second story windows which have a triangular top above which the brickwork is in the configuration of a four-center ogee and a key-hole, and an oval stained glass window on the south wall of the first floor.
A rear extension, which may have been a later addition, was most likely added soon after the original structure was built, and complements the house in its massing and fenestration (National Park Service p.2)."
