The Crooke House, which has subtle Italianate details, is one of Richmond’s better examples of a T-plan house. A one-story porch with a paneled frieze board and a polygonal bay window on the projecting gable wall identify this two-story frame residence. The porch, recessed on the east end, spans three of the four bays of the front, one of which is the entrance. Narrow sidelights and a transom frame the doorway. The one-over-one sash windows are also narrow and, on the first story, elongated and paneled below the sills. Just below the overhanging eaves extend paired brackets, a typical element in Italianate styling. Two interior corbelled chimneys pierce the gable roof.
