5-story mercantile building completed around 1880 as a townhouse, with a 2-story commercial storefront added sometime after 1900. There is a wide, gold-colored metal entrance door on the left side of the ground floor, under a rounded canvas canopy, and a plate-glass storefront on the right. The 2nd floor is framed in black textured metal with a field of glass blocks.

The upper floors are set back, clad in white-painted red brick, now peeling. There are three bays of windows with the original sills either partially or entirely removed or crumbling.
