This small two story commercial vernacular cream brick building has a brick corbelled cornice decorated to suggest brackets. A frieze is defined by brick corbelling above three round arched arcaded windows that have been partyially filled in with smaller single light double hung sashes. A brick corbelled cornice sits above the large wooden sign that joins this building to its neighbor. The storefront has been filled in with stucco walls and modern openings.

This building has some architedtural interest as a good example of the commercial vernacular style of commercial architecture.
