The staircase banister has a Union Shield with scroll type rolls at top and bottom. There are plants on either side.

At the top of the building above the entrance is an elaborate design. At the center is six sided design divided into four sections. The upper left looks like an artist's pallet. The upper right is possibly a globe. The lower right may be a set of scales, nd the lower left is a sickle and a plant. In the center is the Star of David. Below it appears to be two hearts in a basket.

There are too many examples of relief art on the building to list.
