This brick one-part commercial block features Colonial Revival styling. The building has a T-shaped footprint. The symmetrical front elevation is five bays wide and the side (north) elevation is six bays deep. Fenestration defines the bays and includes non-historic double-hung windows with fifteen-over-fifteen light faux muntins that match the original glazing pattern. The entrance occupies the center bay of the front elevation. A formal entrance surround enframes the double-leaf glass doors and the original wood frame transom window, which consists of a string of five arched lights. The entrance surround features pilasters, an entablature, and a flat cornice with dentils.

Additional character-defining features include a stone belt course and parapet coping, flared brick window lintels with stone keystones, and a soldier brick water table.

This building retains a high degree of architectural integrity and clearly conveys its historic associations. It is a contributing element to the historic district.
