The Loren Andrus Octagon House is a two-story, eight-sided structure made of brick. It features an extravagant Italianate roof with supporting brackets and an octagonal cupola with weatherboard sheathing on top. A large porch, supported by Neo-Corinthian wood columns, wraps around seven of the eight sides of the house. The eighth side extends to a single-story brick kitchen wing with a low gable roof. The house is also characterized by two-sash double-hung windows with shaped wood lintels, adding to its architectural charm.
