"This streamlined stucco-sheathed wood-framed rectangular building with rounded corner underwent a major face-lift which changed an elaborate Queen Anne commercial building, known as the Farnham Block, complete with rounded corner tower, 3-sided bays and stickwork, to a moderne concrete surface building. The present building appears exactly as it did in 1938 when the remodelling was first done. Numerous groved horizontal bands form lines which run the entire length of the building at the second story and a recessed parapet surmounts the entire building. The ground floor storefronts feature tile siding and floors." (
