The L-plan is closest to the road and has a hipped roof, attached garage with paneled roll-up door, wood-framed multi-pane sash windows, 1 round window, brick sills, rubble stone veneer. The other 6 cabins have side-gabled roofs, single entry doors, wood-framed multi-pane sash windows, brick sills, rubble stone veneer, and attached hip-roofed carport. Each cabin has two units. The cabins are arranged in two rows around two grassy areas and gravel drive. One unit (NW unit) has been re-sided in plywood and carports are missing. All other units have carports, but some filled in. This complex had 8 cabins in 1931 and 12 cabins in 1945.
