This small, one-story, brick building is slightly recessed from the sidewalk. The central entrance bay has a gable roof with cross bracing. The facade contains a central entrance flanked by projecting, three-sided bay windows applied to a brick building face. The bay windows have one-over-one light, double-hung sash windows. A copper hip roof caps the bays. Single lights compose the transom. The transom and the sidelights have polygonal lead windows.

This building retains many of its architectural elements dating to the 1880s. An 1883 Sandborn map indicates that the building footprint has been retained, complete with the bay windows. The windows in the bays appear to be original. The copper roof appears to be a later addition, as is the cross bracing, entrance sidelights, and transom treatments. Historic maps indicate a residence at this location prior to 1883. It is in a unique component of the District.
