The Thomas Riddick House was an example of early brick structures found in St. Louis. The house was four bays wide, with two rooms on each of the two stories.

The windows were six-over-six light, double-hung and the openings on the first floor of the front of the house had working shutters. The side gable roof had an interior chimney located at each end [28-29].
