This building is located on the west side of 1^st Avenue South, not far from the corner of 1^st Avenue South and Forest Street. It has a rectangular plan, roughly 60 feet, along 1^st Avenue South, by approximately 148 feet. The building is two stories in height and has exterior walls of concrete. Much of the main façade is covered in brick veneer, although a top part of the parapet, including the raised portions of the parapet at the ends of the façade, is of concrete. A large sign was once attached across the length of the façade at this area of the parapet. The second level of the façade presents a series of rectangular openings, filled with original multi-pane steel sash. The central opening is the largest. To each side of the central opening, there are two good-sized, but narrower openings. Finally, at the ends of the façade, beneath each of the raised portions of the parapet, there is much narrower opening.

The ground floor openings include a series of storefronts with transoms, which, overall, do not seem to have changed markedly since the 1930s. On the other a central service opening is now the central doorway to the ground level. It includes double doors with sidelights and two large transoms overhead.
