This two-story, dark red brick building has a flat roof. The first story has four bays and an end (west) bay entrance to the second story. Display windows flank a recessed entrance. All of the original storefront treatments are intact, including the cast iron storefront, bulkheads, transoms, and window enclosures. The second story has three bays. In each bay is a two-over-two light, double- hung sash window with an eyebrow-shaped widow hood. Above the second- story windows and at the roofline, narrow, brick stringcourses project slightly from the building. A plain, brick parapet is above. There is some evidence that an applied cornice may have been removed.
This building retains a very high degree of integrity, having retained the often-compromised elements of the historic storefront and the second-story windows.
