The house is primarily notable for its association with Dr. Drew from 1920 to 1939. It is a narrow two-story frame structure covered with wood clapboards and topped with a gabled roof. Originally a four-room house, the house was expanded with a two-room two-story addition during Drew's ownership. The house is arranged around a side stair hall, which is also the entry. From front to back the first floor comprises the living room, dining room and kitchen. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a den.[3]
The Drew House was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1976.[2][3]
