This two story brick block commands a highly visible corner location. The structure is dominated by brick pilasters with recessed corbelled detailing which give rise to buttresses capped by gablets, punctuating the flat roof profile and ordering both the Main and Sunapee Street elevations into three divisions.
Above the central round arch is a large segmental arch, capped by a keystone inscribed 1886 and beneath it an arched granite stone denotes "Lewis Block".
