"This corner flat-roofed brick building is one-story high with three storefronts with recessed entries facing Park Street. On the Lincoln Avenue side, the three store fronts with entries directly to the sidewalk are vacant. The building is unusual in its brick pattern exterior; contrasting white glazed bricks are crisply defined by the incised dark mortar used to hold them together. Decorative crosses at the building corners are formed of black marble squares. A projecting boxed cornice, soffit with egg and dart odolo, and frieze with raised trefoil define the roof line. White brick columns at the building front appear to have been painted black while the three stores on Lincoln Avenue retain the white brick. Of the three storefronts on Park Street all three feature entry floors done in hexagonal white and green tile designs. Although transoms are covered by signs on several stores they all appear to be intact and undamaged."
