The building features a yellow brick front facade with a red rusticated sandstone base, red sandstone trim, keyhole-shaped Moorish arched bays on the front facade and three-story bay window, stained glass and decorative glass transoms, upper sash, and panels that frame fixed windows, decorative carved rosettes, stone belt coursing at the sill lines of the windows, a cornice with machicolations and decorative carved reliefs, and a low-slope roof enclosed by a parapet.
