The facade is eleven bays wide and terminated at each end by a conical tower with flat roof. A rectangular tower dominates the central bay.

In 1974 it was converted to a senior citizens apartment building.[3] The sanitarium building and Foster Cottage were later included as part of the Clifton Springs Sanitarium Historic District.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
