This large two-story wood-framed house is generally rectangular in plan, with a veneer of ochre brick and gabled roof. Situated on a corner lot, a gabled porte-cochere projects from the principal side façade, surmounted by a trellised balcony, now enclosed. A gabled portico projects from the front. The house was built c. 1911 for Elizabeth Ross, wife of Zeno Ross; Sr., a prominent attorney. Dr. C. E. Terrell, a pharmacist, lived here in the early 1920s. The Ross House is a contributing resource in the Elizabeth Boulevard Historic District (local and national).
