As beautiful inside as out, the building has 14 bedrooms located along the outside walls, and a lounge located in the center. The rich flavor of the interior woodwork and casework gives the residents a feeling of home. The structure is all wood framed and has a shingled roof. A courtyard located on the east side of the building features a wooden gazebo as well as benches for sitting.
