Torvinin House was constructed at around 1910 at 242 Seventh Street. This residence is a non-contributing member of the Chicken Ridge Historic District.

The rectangular building (42.5' x 30') is one story with no basement. Exterior walls are clad with horizontal wood beveled clapboard siding. The side gabled roof system is covered with composition shingles. The structural system consists of wood balloon frame and concrete block foundation.

Major additions and renovations were completed in 1938, 1962 and 1964 which compromised the architectural integrity of the building, although at this writing in 2023, those changes may now be considered historic.
