This two-part commercial block building has design details typical of Early Twentieth Century Commercial buildings. The tan brick second story has four pairs of 1/1 double hung windows. Each pair has a separate stone lugsill, but all share a continuous lintel band formed of a row of vertical brick stretchers, then headers. Centered in the cornice area is a stone plaque with the name "HOUSE." Flanking the plaque are recessed rectangular panels formed by double corbelled rows of bricks. The roof has a stepped parapet edge with stone coping. The cornice is formed by corbelled bricks with rows of dentils beneath. There are two storefronts and a centered recessed secondary entrance leading to the second story. The rehabilitated storefronts have recessed entries at both ends of the facade, with two large display windows having vertical wood kickplates. The transoms have vertical fixed sashes.
