A wrought iron fence surrounds the house, which was preserved by the owners during World War II despite the call for metal donations to the war effort. It is adorned with a plaque commemorating Sloane, the work of the Wooster Museum (before it was moved under the care of the Wayne County Historical Society of Ohio). The plaque emphasizes the importance Wooster residents place on their historical buildings. Mrs. Lyman Robert Critchfield embodies this characteristic, having preserved the house since she attained it in 1946. She gave meticulous attention to the preservation and reservation efforts, trying to be as faithful to the original building as possible.

The look of the house is reminiscent of Gothic revival architecture, propagated in that time by Andrew Jackson Downing, who Sloane was probably exposed to during his time in Washington. It is made out of brick, with white shutters and trim. The woodwork left from the original house is hand-carved, the designs for the fence and columns inspired by 19<sup>th</sup> century china patterns. Columns frame the double doorway that matches the portico. The house has been renovated for modern use, divided into apartments. A carriage house and barn were taken down to make way for another addition of apartments. After the property was bought by Forest and Georgia Muir in 2011 the back addition was torn down and the building is used for office space.
