The primary entrance is found on the canted northwest corner, while an additional entrance is located on the side (west) elevation. The rear (south) facade features a contemporary, open deck on the second story. Fenestration consists of modern, one-over-one, double-hung windows. The building historically featured large, display type windows on the primary (north) facade."
