This two-story, commercial vernacular building was constructed in 1910 and housed Oscar Hildebrandt's laundry in the rear and C. H. Hildebrandt & Sons furniture store in front. It is clad in brick and has a flat roof with a simple cornice detail consisting of dentils and brackets. The front (north) facade features a canted entry, fixed-pane storefront windows with glass block beneath, transoms, and pilasters. A simple string course spanning the length of the front facade separates the first and second story. The second-story facade features two oriel windows with replacement one-over-one, double-hung sash.
