The home was built for H. Otto Hausgen by architect William B. Wood, known as Anchorage’s master builder.

The foundation of the home is constructed of local limestone; quarried from the nearby community of Peewee Valley, Kentucky. The two-story frame and weatherboard house has a hipped roof and a one-story veranda, which spans the entire main façade. The front entryway includes an elaborate front door with overhead fanlights and sidelights - a typical feature with the Colonial Revival styles of the period. The home also features a multiple columned porch distinctive to the style. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 and has undergone significant renovations since that time.
