The primary (north) facade features storefronts containing contemporary materials flanking the entrance and, on the second story, limestone lintel and sill courses. The facade is topped with a bracketed metal cornice that wraps around to the side (west) elevation. Openings on the side elevation feature limestone sills and lintels, while a bay window is found on the second story at the northwest corner of the building. A two-story, frame addition is located on the rear (south) facade. Building fenestration predominantly consists of six-over-one, double-hung, wooden sash windows."
