This simple, three-story, red brick building has four-bays. Its window openings are the primary design elements. The storefront level consists of three large, plate glass display windows, and a recessed entry in the east end bay. The second- and third-story windows occupy most of the wall space of the upper elevation. On the second story, wood paneling covers the windows, which are small glass panels placed over large plate glass windows. The third-story has 12-over-12 light, double-hung sash windows. All of the second- and third-story windows have stone sills. The building terminates with a simple, stone stringcourse and a stone-capped stepped parapet.
Despite the covering of the second-story windows, which is reversible, this building retains its architectural integrity and is representative of commercial design treatments in the first decades of the twentieth century.
