The house elicits in its viewer a distinct "English feel."
Indeed, through its many remodelings the building is cast in the Tudor Revival style of architecture.
The structure displays a steeply pitched, side gabled roof, rounded bay and half-timbering, all common elements of the Tudor Revival style.
Other 1890s Wright-designed buildings also displayed a connection to traditional domestic architecture styles.
The house has a vertical upsweep which projects a sense of shelter and safety associated with the broad, overhanging eaves found in Wright's roof designs.
White carried Wright's design a step further in his remodel, but Wright's architectural aplomb is still evident in the structure.

The home expresses a familial coziness, common to Wright's later early modern Prairie homes.
The entire idea of barn conversion was an architectural advance in the late 19th century.
Wright's work on the stable introduced angularity and converted it from a barn to a building which conveyed a meld of country charm and modernity.
O'Gorman compares the home to those designed by architect Edwin Lutyens.
The prominent roof features second-story dormers, and its massive scale is balanced by Wright's placement of towering chimneys at either end of the house.
The home's front facade is obscured by bushes, trees and landscaping during the warmer months, and the home is best viewed in autumn or winter.
