Concrete finials highlight the beltcourse between the first and second floors. Original metal windows are present on the west elevation. The storefronts have been slightly altered and feature some new windows and entrances. The windows at the second floor on the south façade were originally multi-lite over 1 wood sash windows, but have since been replaced with a mix of fixed and hopper windows.
