The front porch is recessed with five tall arched openings. A six-step staircase spans the front of the building in front of all five openings. Windows are 12-over-12 double hung and are arched. The brick under the portico windows is laid diagonally. Beneath the roof line is a concrete belt course, above which are terra cotta tiles. A heavy concrete water table encircles the building between the first and basement levels. A two-story section extends from the rear of the building. The building was constructed with Treasury Department funding in 1931.
