The façade, or south elevation facing W. Washington St., has an open portico supported by two brick columns on its east end to accommodate gas pumps and cars. Under the portico is a storefront bay with a door flanked by two fixed metal windows. The west end of the façade has two large garage bays filled with fixed metal windows. Between the garage bays and the storefront is a window with metal security bars. The east end of this building also served as a bus station, so the east elevation along N.
