This one-story wood-framed house has an irregular plan. It is sheathed in narrow clapboard and has a jerkinhead gabled roof. The house is distinguished by a quantity of delicate ornamental wood trim, including porch brackets, brackets and friezes beneath window hoods and jerkin-heads, and circular attic vents with jigsaw grilles. Documentation indicates that the house was built c. 1908, though it appears to be older. The earliest recorded owner, through the mid-1920s, was James H. Sandy, a freight conductor and flagman with the Texas & Pacific Railroad. The Hill family has owned the property since 1940. As a fine example of an ornamented late Victorian cottage, the house appears to be eligible for the National Register. The Sandy-Hill House has been demolished.
