The property is a two-story brick commercial building that faces east toward Main Street.
Constructed in 1897, the Dyer Building (as the property is commonly known) has a flat roof,
exterior brick walls and a concrete foundation. The primary (east) elevation has a first-story
commercial storefront with glass single-light windows and a slightly off-center glass and metal
commercial door. Situated at the south end of the first-story façade is a paneled door that leads to
the second-story. Upper façade windows are replacement design with original arches and sills.
Above these windows is an off-center louvered vent. The façade wall rises above the roofline and
is stepped, capped with terra cotta tiles. The north elevation has two first-floor level entrances
near the central and rear portions of the building. The entries have solid wood paneled doors with
arched transoms. Windows on the first story north elevation are arched. Most are single-panel
six-light design; three are double-hung six-over-six design. Second story windows are also sixover-six
design." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
