Late 19th & 20th Century Classical Revival

This freestanding two-story Classical Revival building has a tall stone base and upper stories clad in buff brick with stone and glazed terra cotta ornament. The main entry at the east end of the façade is flanked by Corinthian columns supporting a stone entablature. The center of the three bays on the façade projects outward slightly from the façade and contains three two-story Corinthian columns supporting a gabled pediment. The outer bays each contain a single window at each story. A terra cotta border surrounds both windows. Terra cotta panels ornamented with swags fill the spandrels between the stories. The gabled pediment and the cornice encircling the building have wide and narrow dentils. A stepped parapet with a blind balustrade and scrolls caps the building. The rear (north) elevation is painted brick.
