The 2-story Hoge and Gumm Building was constructed in 1916 in a Twentieth Century Commercial style. The building is rectangular in plan with red brick walls and a flat roof with shaped parapets. The building is rectangular in plan with red brick walls and a flat roof. The front elevation faces east and is comprised of two store fronts adjoined by a single bay. Entrances are located in both store fronts as well as in the adjoining bay (the latter of which provides access to the second story residential space). The first story of the east façade is topped with a continuous metal cornice. Each of the storefronts is set between brick pilasters. The north storefront is comprised of a recessed entrance accessed by concrete steps and flanked by two large shop windows with transoms and kick plates that have been infilled with wood panels. The south store front is comprised of a recessed entrance accessed by concrete steps and flanked by single shop windows and transoms and kick plates that have been infilled with wood panels. At the second story, corbelled rectangular recesses span the length each storefront; each recess contains banks of 1-over-1 windows (two pairs of 1-over-1 windows in the south bay and two pairs of 1-over-1 windows on either side of a bank of three 1-over-1 windows in the northern bay). A single 1-over-1 window is located at the second story of the central bay. A continuous stone belt course delineates the top of the second story; above this in the southern bay is a date stone that reads “1916” and in the northern bay is a name stone that reads “Hoge & Gumm.”

As of 2020, the storefront windows have been replaced, and alterations have been made to the paneling above and below the storefront windows. Chicago-style window in the second story of the northern bay has since been replaced by three 1-over-1 windows.
