The Vandergriff Building was designed by Fort Worth-based architect Harve D. Withers.
The western two-thirds of the building is a 2-story that originally housed automobile showroom space and sales offices on the first floor, while the eastern third of the building is only 1-story and contained the automobile maintenance or service department.
The Vandergriff Building facade is constructed primarily of a rough-textured, buff-colored face brick laid in a running bond on its north and west elevations, while the east and south elevations are of darker buff common brick.
