To the east of the entrance are modern, aluminum frame plate glass display windows placed on an angle. A cloth awning shelters the storefront. The transom area has been covered with stucco. Cast-iron piers at each end of the storefront support a cast-iron lintel. The second story entrance is located between the two storefronts. The entrance is a single light wood frame door with a two light, fixed transom. The fenestration at the second story consists of 1/1 light, double-hung, wooden sash segmental arched windows.
