A hipped roof, interior-end chimneys, and brick pilasters enclose and define this two-story brick structure. The pilasters divide the facade into five distinct sections, each containing one bay. The paired brick pillars support the flat-roofed one-story central portico and have the same effect as the pilasters. The double-leafed central doorway is surrounded by four-light sidelights and a three-light transom. It is recessed and finished with an entablature. Directly above, on the second story, a second window is enlarged by sidelights.
