This three-story, brick building has six narrow window bays. Infill covers the original first-story storefront. The location of the original side entrance to the building remains. The second and third stories feature six rectangular, one-over-one light, double-hung sash windows. Canvas awnings cover each window. A band of soldier brick and a band of cast stone form the cornice of the building. The parapet roof has stone caps.

Although infill covers the original first-story storefront, the original second- and third-story windows continue to be important character-defining elements of the building. These features and the retention of the original materials, simple cornice work, location and setting allow this building to contribute minimally to the significance of the District.
