The rear (southeast) elevation features an identical parapet. A single door has been added in one of the second story window openings. At the western corner of the front elevation is a small projecting mass with a single door on its southwest side. All of the original segmental-arched window openings in this building have been boarded over. Pairs of wooden carriage doors are located in the center of the northwest elevation and near the northern end of the southwest elevation. A concrete ramp and platform are located along the southwest elevation."
