Set on a sloping site, concrete steps run the length of the facade.
Occupying the first floor are a large central storefront flanked by two smaller fronts separated by angled recessed entrances. Recently replaced, the storefront window has been divided into smaller sections, with wood framing at the top giving the impression of transoms.
