The windows on the house are eight over eight pane double hung windows with white wood trim and muntins. The windows on the first story are arched double hung windows and the windows on the second story are rectangular double hung windows. The windows have limestone sills and brick lintels. The third story windows are dormer windows protruding from the gable roof. The dormer windows have rounded arch glazing flanked by pilasters. The house has a white classical dentilated cornice along the long facades. A brick string course accentuates the transition from the first floor to the second floor. 1009 W.
