This two-story two-part commercial block retains its historic wood and cast iron storefront on the first story and buff brick cladding on the second story. The storefront has a recessed entry, wood bulkheads, and a transom with opaque panels. A thin stone beltcourse runs the length of the façade at the sill level of the second-story window. The single Chicago-Style window is centered on the façade with a raised brick surround. Recessed panels and a soldier course band provide the only ornament on this simple building. The stepped parapet has stone coping. This façade was added c. 1922. The rear (west) elevation has field stone walls with stone arches and retains its historic wood 4/1 double-hung windows.
