The facade of this two-part commercial block building was probably altered after the turn of the century as it has features typical of Early Twentieth Century Commercial buildings. The hard-fired brown brick facade has two sets of three fixed sash windows on the second story, each set within a recessed panel. The windows share a continuous sill of raised brick headers, and a continuous lintel course of triple rock-faced brick. Above the windows are two rectangular panels recessed with the brick. The projecting cornice is of corbelled brick. The storefront currently does not contain an entry door, as the building functions as part of the business adjoining to the north. The first story has five recessed display windows separated by heavy, bracketed wood timbers. The windows here are full-height.
