This two-part commercial block building features simple detailing typical of Early Twentieth Century/Moderne commercial buildings. The second story is clad in hard-fired red brick, and has two pairs of 1/1 windows with projecting brick header sills. These windows are slightly shorter than the original, as the fenestration openings have been partially bricked-in above. The window lintel is a continuous course of vertically placed brick stretchers. Above is a rectangular panel formed by slightly projecting brick headers, and the cornice is marked by a simple projecting brick course. The first story has a recessed secondary entry at the north end. The storefront entry is adjacent to this, and display windows to the south have tan brick bulkheads which angle in to meet the door. The transom area is fixed glass sash, and is covered with a cloth awning.
