Segmentally arched window pairs look out on the balcony. Atop the flanking box windows are hipped roofs and bracketed cornices. The ground floor has three storefronts separated by pilasters. The wide center storefront, which is recessed behind a pair of columns, has a set of anodized aluminum display windows that were installed around 1975.
