This classic six-story brick office building occupies a corner lot and has a prominent chamfered corner. The building is divided into four horizontal levels by string courses and cornices. The first level has new show windows and has been refaced above the rusticated stone base. There are two entrances: a corner entrance, and the original entrance at the east end of the north elevation. The original entrance has a stone surround composed of pilasters with a flat entablature.

The second horizontal level of the building is composed of the second story, which has a rusticated brick surface and large windows that originally had three-part sash. The third horizontal level of the building is composed of stories three, four, and five. These stories have grouped one-over-one double-hung windows with shared sills.

The western elevation has a tripartite end bay. The northern elevation has a two-part end bay. A molded cornice separates this level from that of the top story.
