This one-story, brick, vernacular commercial building was built c.1910. It features a metal, front gable roof, which is hidden from view by a two-story false front with a stepped parapet. Fenestration includes a recessed, modern door in the northern end of the façade, and a series of three fixed, modern windows to the south of the door. A fabric awning spans the entire width of the façade, and the upper story has been covered in vertical corrugated metal siding.
