"Fronting on Eighteenth Street are four commercial buildings (Nos. 5,6,7 and 8). The United Mine Workers of America (U.M.W.of A.) Building (No. 7, 307-311 West 18th Street) was constructed in about 1914-16. It is an eclectic decorative stone and brick three-story building with a one-story brick addition on the east elevation. It has an ornate terra cotta cornice with modillions, dentil molding, and a terra cotta freize. The stepped parapet was designed to resemble a balustrade above the cornice area. The third story windows have round brick segmented arches with radiating voussoirs and six over six-light double-hung sash. There are also lights in the arches. There are four round terra cotta medallions spaced across the window arches. The space between the second and third story windows contains three rectangular recesses with a round brick decoration on either side and a white terra cotta "UMW of America" symbol in the center. The second story windows are eight over one-light double-hung units with segmented but plain terra cotta lintels. There is a white terra cotta projecting molded secondary cornice with dentil molding running across the facade of the three story building and the one-story addition above the street level. The one story addition has a terra cotta capped parapet. The street level has been modified but retains portions of white cast iron columns. The clerestory area has been covered with corrugated plastic or fiberglass panels across the facade. There are three storefront entrances (one recessed in the three story portion) and a fourth entrance to the upper stories. All have aluminum framed glass doors and display windows."

The building has been renovated and now houses a CPA firm.
