This two-story, painted brick building exhibits late Victorian ornamentation. The building consists of two storefronts sharing a common internal wall. Each has a storefront in the first story and three large, rectangular windows on the second story, creating six bays. All of the windows on the primary elevation are two-over-two light, double-hung sashes with stone sills. The building terminates with a heavy, elaborately decorated entablature and cornice. The cornice design employs a central gable front dormer for each storefront section, flanked by a projecting cornices supported by scroll brackets. The storefronts are modern alterations. Display windows flank the recessed entries in each storefront, replicating the original footprint of the building. A modern awning is attached to the building.
This building retains a sizable portion of its original ornamentation, fenestration, materials and design.
