The centerpiece of the cornice consists of two rounded openings surrounded by brick voussoirs and projecting pilasters resting on rounded stone bases. On the second story, seven segmental arched windows have stone window hoods and sills. The one-over-one light, double-hung sash windows are original. The first story of the building incorporates two storefronts, both of which reflect sensitive alterations. Both storefronts retain their original configuration. The eastern storefront (508 Delaware) retains its original transom. A modern awning spans the entire first story of the facade.
