It is one-story brick building with a parapeted roof with a "pseudo-pediment", and is in an Early Classical Revival style. It has a cut stone cornice with a frieze and dentils created by J. Thurron & Co. of New York City. Its entryway has pairs of stone Tuscan pilasters supporting a carved stone molding.[2]

It was expanded to the rear in 1924 by local craftsman, in more utilitarian style, but still with a parapeted roof and a cornice. On the inside, the appearance is of just one building.[2]
