"This building is an exuberant example of Classical Revival commercial architecture. Built in 1905, the building is dominated by a miassive entablature with a bracketed metal cornice. A colossal colonnade on cantoned brick pilasters crowned with terra cotta capitals rises through the upper stories on the west facade and frames the front facade. The colonnade rests on a first story base, punctuated by tall windows with heavy stone lintels. The stylized surround, ornamented with brick banding, which encloses the upper stories of the front facade, is worthy of special notice." Rebecca Sample Bernstein for the City of Stoughton Landmarks Commission and Downtown Revitalization Association, Historic Main Street: An Architectural & Historical Guide to Downtown Stoughton, 1991.
