A two-part commercial block building with detailing typical of Early Twentieth Century Commercial buildings, indicating a probable façade alteration at this time. The glazed tab brick-clad second story has three 1/1 double-hung windows with sills of raised dark brick headers. The windows currently have wood shutters. The narrow cornice has a course of vertically placed brick stretchers, topped with a darker colored stone coping with shallow centered parapet. The rehabilitated storefront has a recessed secondary entry on the south end leading to the second story. The storefront itself has a recessed centered entry door flanked by display windows. The corner posts are paneled, and the display windows have segmental arched wood crowns and brick kickplates. The transom area has multiple fixed square glass panes.
