A shingle-and-clapboard 2½-story, mansard-roof commercial building with full-width wood-and plate-glass storefront on the façade’s first story, a slanting fully-glazed wall on the façade’s second story, and gabled dormers in the west and south lower slopes of the roof. While slightly set back from the façade-wall plane of the adjacent commercial block to the south, it shares similarity of massing and a common cornice line; at first look, it appears to be an old building, not a recent infill.
