"This brick building has one story and a raised basement. A flat parapet with an arched corbel table caps the front elevation. Centered above the parapet is a sign board with an engraved plaster plaque that says "Marella Block 1863 1901." Below the parapet is a dentil course. Pilasters divide the facade into three bays and rise through the cornice and parapet. Between the two central pilasters is an open doorway with an round-arched transom window. On each side is a pair of one-over-one windows separated by a colonette. Two raised bands appear below the windows. The basement on the sloping grade is higher on the right, where it has a plain door, than the left, where it has a multipaned window. A diagonal wall, ornamented like the facade, is on the building's north corner. The basement door is not original, but otherwise no alterations are apparent. The building contributes to the historic character of the district."
