The house was commissioned by the Las Vegas merchant, Joseph Danziger. The Tudor Revival facade is symmetrically defined by twin gabled pavilions decorated with simplified strapwork, and a projecting porch that combines brick masonry construction with classically inspired pilaster capitals and moldings. It stands next to the Stern House on a lot that is more narrow at 75 feet, but equally deep at approximately 210 feet.
