The house is a two-story masonry building with a broadly overhanging hipped roof. The design is relatively simple and lacks the heavy ornamentation of some of Trost's other Prairie houses, including his own residence in El Paso. The Spitz House has stuccoed walls with dark wooden trim around the casement windows and a projecting sill course on the second floor. The front elevation is symmetrical, with a hipped entrance porch, while the rear has an asymmetrical two-story projection and less regular window patterns.[3]
