NRHP Nomination Form
"The original brick façade was stuccoed and painted white. A wainscot of black Carrara glass was added on the lower wall of the first floor. Three vertical black stripes that run from below the corbeled parapet to the top of the first floor’s apertures give a distinctive Art Deco-inspired look to the façade. A black sign between the first and second floor reinforces the Art Deco style."
