The main facade of the building faces north onto E. Maple St. and its first story originally consisted of two storefronts, both of which have now lost all their original features. The second story, however, is still highly intact and it is five-bays-wide and is crowned with an elaborate and highly intact bracketed metal cornice. Each of the five bays contains a single window opening that has a dressed stone sill and an elaborately carved stone or possibly metal head. Each opening also contains its original two-over-two-light double hung wood sash window.
