The rectangular core of the house measures 1,916 square feet and is two bays wide and three bays deep. The walls in the basement are thirty inches thick solid stone (indigenous Berea Sandstone). The rest of other walls throughout the house are about 14 inches thick, creating a window seat at each of the windows. The house has a shallow gable roof of slate shingles and a wide, plain freeze, and a molded cornice with cornice returns on gable ends. The house contains two brick chimneys with stone caps placed at each gable end of the structure and a central chimney with stone caps placed in the middle of the later kitchen addition.

The façade faces west onto Broadview Road and incorporates a side front door with transom and had a symmetrical fenestration pattern. A second entrance facing south on Brookpark Road consists of a side porch with an asymmetrical façade, an inset porch facing North onto Snow Road, and leads to the later kitchen addition. The front façade of the house has two double hung windows that are evenly spaced apart on both the first floor and the second floor. The lintels and sills are cut stone and have tooled facing. On the south side of the house there are three double hung windows that are also evenly spaced. One small square window is located in the center of this elevation on the second level. Attached to the rear gable wall of the core structure is the frame summer kitchen moved to this site. The kitchen has a gable roof in the same orientation as the core, and four columns support a south elevation inset porch. Attached to the rear of the kitchen appendage is another, smaller gable oriented addition which is the washroom. The overall massing of the house creates a telescoping effect.

The interior of the house includes a front entry hall with two doors, one leading to the bedrooms and the other leading to the parlor. Inside, the house originally had a sitting room, parlor, and a large kitchen. The upstairs floor plan, which appears to be original, consists of four bedrooms - two large and two small. The original wide floorboards covering the upstairs floors are still in evidence. In 1900, the present slate roof was installed and the summer kitchen and wash kitchen, (originally a separate building) was attached to the back of the house. The summer kitchen has a sink that appears to date from the nineteenth century. Outside the summer kitchen is a summer porch with columns an additional entrance door. Wood beams, measuring 10" x 12" were used to construct the additions. There are wide rather ornate moldings on the baseboards, door and window surrounds.

Broadview Road, which runs past the stone house has seen many changes: first a mud road, then a wood plank road (which was later bricked), and then finally the concrete road with the current north-south orientation.

Set back at the rear of the house is a detached barn that has a stone foundation and wood frame walls clad with modern wood shingles, which cover plain vertical board siding. The date of the barn's construction pre-dates the house and is the oldest built structure in the City of Parma. It was constructed when the Henninger's originally built a log cabin at the site which was then replaced with the stone house in 1849. The barn remained. Philip Henninger was a tinsmith who set up shop in his barn..
