The remodelled facade is a good and typical example of the glazed, polychromed, terra-cotta facing of the period. Used as a modernizing cover-up, this superficial treatment features art-deco geometric ornament, polished granite wainscoting, and nickel-plated picture window frames. Also typical of the period is the stores name, "Neisner's", set in the entrance-way terrazzo in metal.
