The house is in good condition. Some settling has taken place, most serious in the porch at the south side of the house. It has been rebuilt once due to its poor original foundation but has begun to sink again, causing some cracking in the concrete floor. No emergency repair is needed or planned at this time. Rather it is the roof that the College plans to address first, replacing copper flashing and adding exterior dowspouts to replace the cast iron ones within the walls that have begun to fail. Once the "shell" of the house is secured from the elements, plans for restoration of the interior spaces will proceed.

Due to sensitive treatment by the previous owners, the interior of the house is in very good condition. The most extensive work necessary will be the repainting of interior walls, currently painted white throughout the house. Paint samples on the walls of the attic, presumably preserved from the original painting of the house, as well as inspection of existing paint layers will assist in returning the walls to their original appearance.

Red oak wood floors in the living and dining rooms have a high polish on them but are in good shape. Wall-to-wall carpeting in the first-floor library and on the second floor will be removed, as will tile flooring installed in the entryway. The kitchen of the house, redone more than once by the succession of owners, contains little if any of its original detail. It was most recently remodeled by a local craftsman in a manner sensitive to the style of the house and will probably not be restored to its original plan.
