A 1½ story brick, shingle and plate-glass building in the Mock-Shingle Style with continuous storefronts, low jerkinhead-gable dormers, prominent cross gable, and low 3-story circular-plan tower with low conical roof. Like other tourist-oriented commercial development that began to dominate southern Thames Street in the mid-1980s, following the successful rehabilitation of the Perry Mill at 337 Thames Street (q.v.), this building looks back—albeit fleetingly and myopically—at Newport’s signally important late 19th-century architecture of pleasure, the Shingle Style.
