The Registration Form notes that this "Modern Movement" building was constructed around 1946 -- perhaps earlier, with a different façade -- providing this description:
International Style one-story commercial facade of split-faced Roman brick composed asymmetrically with a fin wall and large projecting flat metal canopy. Aluminum and glass storefront remains. The majority of the materials are original.
