This two-part commercial block building has elements of the Romanesque Revival style, most noticeably in the stone arched fenestration, and is a rare intact example of this type in Lawrence. The facade is covered with a rusticated stone veneer. A deeply recessed secondary entry at the north end has a semi-circular arched opening, and is reached by a set of concrete steps. The storefront to the south is set within a large segmentally arched opening, and an center entry at the north end, display window, wood bulkhead, and large glass transom. There is a molded projecting cornice serving to separate the first from second story, which has carved end brackets. The second story has three 1/1 windows, with semi-circular arched openings featuring keystones. The unadorned cornice band has tile coping.
