The Tourtellotte Building is veneered with cast panels placed to resemble stone blocks, and the upper facade includes a "continuous frieze of swags and discs."

Double notch rafters project from lateral eaves and from cantilevered window bays with shed roofs below the side facing gables. Narrow clapboard siding covers exterior walls. The front porch is supported by square posts with geometric, dropped caps. Tourtellotte & Hummel had used the square post decorations in other Bungalow houses, and a more elaborate example is found on the porch of the William Sidenfaden House (1912) in Boise. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
