This is a two-story brick Italianate commercial building. The first story contains a single storefront with aluminum-framed plate glass windows and a recessed entrance door at the south end. At the north end of the facade, a solid entrance door provides access to the second story. Clear glass fills the transom above the first-story openings. At the second story, the three double-hung sash windows have a one-over-one light configuration. An ornate hood with drip molds tops each opening and recessed brick corbels flank each opening. The ornate pressed metal cornice features brackets and a broken pediment that together with the window treatment conveys the building's architectural style.

This building is a contributing element to the original Downtown Ottawa Historic District, which was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It retains sufficient architectural integrity to convey its historic associations. It contributes to the significance of the historic district.
