This is a two-story painted brick building in the Commercial/Late Victorian style, constructed in 1901. The upper floor has single arched windows with stone sills and soldier brick lintels. All of these windows have been filled in. The upper parapet wall on both elevations of this corner building has crenelations for design.
There is a canted corner to this building, with a corner wood and glass entry door, which appears to no longer give access to the building. Narrow sidelights to this entry have brick kickplates. Where the two elevations and the corner facade meet, the brick interlocks forming a zipper-like design. A steel beam lintel separates the first and second floors. The transom is extant, but is covered with vertical paneling. All display windows have brick kickplates. A flat, slightly angled canopy extends over the first floor windows on the west elevation and the corner entry.
This building is occupied by Garfield Furniture, whose main showroom is across the street.
This building is Item 78 on the District nomination.
