There are two elaborate faces in profile across from one another in brick frieze. Additionally, the date of the building is also in frieze as well. The dated stone can be found on the right side of this humongous building and is in complete brick relief or what some might consider a frieze. There is also an urn with flowers popping out of it as well. The letter "A" in frieze surrounded by flowing designs may give some clue as to the origins of this building. Finally beneath the dentils which line the broken pediment are also another long stream of frieze art, all of it very viewable from the Lincoln Highway rotary circle.

There is no name or business attached to the structure so I assume it is private. The building is one of the jewels of this very small town of 900 and is part of its Lincoln Highway charm and appeal.
