Andrew L. Meadows, a display manager for Washer Brothers Store, and his wife, Emma, hired contractor J. L. Howell to construct their residence; Meadows is thought to have designed the house. The one and one-half story house of generally rectangular plan is clad in textured buff brick. A lively, Period Revival composition is formed by the juxtaposition of several steeply pitched gables, a recessed, arcaded loggia, and an arched entry.
