The house is an adobe Bungalow style home, considered a rare house type, for its combination of building materials and house style. The house was built as the town-home of Harry Saxon, who owned the nearby Box Bar Ranch, and had been a sheriff during Arizona's territorial days, as well as serving in Arizona's First State Legislature.

The house sits on an adobe foundation and has a stucco exterior. It has a gable roof covered in wooden shingles. There is a platform veranda-style porch with wood piers, and a central panel door main entrance, the a single window. [2]
