This two-part commercial block building features simple detailing typical of Early Twentieth Century/Moderne commercial buildings. Alterations in the mid-twentieth century have unified the upper stories of what was previously two separate buildings. The second story is clad in hard-fired brown brick, and each storefront has two pairs of 1/1 double-hung windows; the windows on the south end are slightly taller. Each pair shares a slightly projecting sill of brick headers, and all windows have a continuous course of vertically placed brick stretchers as the lintel. Another row of vertically placed brick stretchers delineates the otherwise unadorned cornice. The north storefront has a recessed centered entry flanked by display windows with brick bulkheads which angle in to meet the door. The south storefront has a recessed entry with flanking display windows having paneled wood kickplates. There is an entry leading to the second story between the two storefronts.
