Corner commercial building in row, rectangle, one story, three front bays with oblique entrance, one side bay, brick, flat roof, triple display windows in wood frame between cast iron posts, paired glazed wooden entrance doors with overhead transom. Rear wood frame shed addition. Second story removed (1978).
