The Dr. Willard Van Orsdel King House is a one-story, Mid-Century Modernistic Fashion residence congenital of solid physical block. It has an irregular ground plan and rests on a poured concrete slab. It has three bedrooms, 2 and one-half baths, a kitchen, a combination living room and dining room and a "Florida room" that forms a central pod and is the axis of the interior infinite of the business firm. The master (west) façade of the house is dominated by a trapezoidal, ii-vehicle carport that is approached past a crescent-shaped driveway. The main bedchamber and bath lie in the southward stop of the west pod of the house while the ii guest bedrooms are found at the east pod of the house and are separated by a shared bathroom. The forepart and rear sections of the house are separated by the Florida room, which opens direct onto the kitchen/dining area, creating a large physical and visual area.

Information technology was designed past locally well-known builder William Francis Bigoney, Jr., for Alan Morton, the contractor/builder of the firm.

These principals emphasized simplicity of form and physical and visual integration of exterior and interior spaces to produce a dynamic effect not based on historical architectural antecedents.

King was widely published and received world-wide recognition for his research into the life-cycle and control of the malaria bearing insect. The house, which he occupied from 1953 until his death in 1970, is the property that is most strongly associated with King. Subsequently he retired from government service, he continued his important epidemiological research, working out of the house as a consultant.

The home is privately endemic and not open to the public.​​
