The Oliver House is a one and one-half story wood-framed house, rectangular in plan, with a flaring gabled roof. A partial porch with Tuscan columns is recessed beneath the front gable slope. A large gabled dormer clad in ornamental shingle contains a barrel-vaulted balcony. The upper end walls, framed by wide eaves with returns, are clad in alternating bands of sawtooth and plain shingles. The ground floor walls have been altered by the application of asbestos siding. The earliest recorded occupant of the house was Walter A. Oliver, superintendent of the industrial claims department of the American National Insurance Co., who lived here until c. 1914. The property has had a number of owners since that time.
