Built into the landward lock embankment, it has a brick foundation ad a brick first story. The landward sidewall has a double hung, sash window and a small, square window high and to the right. The upper story gable is clad with wooden shingles and has paired windows surmounted by a louvred attic vent. The roof has a molded cornice and returns.

There is a brick chimney at the center of the roof ridge. THIS BUILDING IS RELATED TO THE LOCK AND THE LOCK SHACK. |
