Built in 1886, this Second Empire-style house was designed by John Nader for John J. Suhr. It was later renovated in 1902, adding the current neoclassical front porch and other elements.

The house is clad in brown brick with a mansard roof, paired brackets at the eaves, a tall roof over the front entrance bay with iron cresting at the top, dormers with vaulted roofs, some of which contain circular ox-eye windows, one-over-one vinyl replacement windows, stained glass transoms on the first floor, a one-story bay window with a covered balcony porch above on the front facade, a rusticated stone base, a front door with an arched transom and decorative surround featuring Ionic engaged columns, a front porch with a low-pitch hipped roof, fluted Ionic columns, a decorative balustrade, and an open stone pier foundation, a two-story bay window on the side facade, and two rear porches with hipped roofs.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and is a contributing structure in the Langdon Street Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986.
