This two-story, two-part commercial block building has second story design elements which are complementary to the Italian Renaissance features on the adjoining three story building to the south. The brick-clad second story has two pairs of small, casement windows. Each pair has a shared sill of raised brick headers. Above each pair is a double recessed brick rectangular panel. The cornice features large brick dentils, with an overhanging flat metal corona. Above, the flat brick parapet has stone coping. The storefront has a deep recessed entry on the north with display windows to the south. The kickplates are ceramic tile, and the transom has been covered with a plywood signboard.
