The first bay has a plain door, the second bay includes a wagon entrance complete with a canopy, cheeks, and a wooden lintel, while the third bay has been altered to include a large rectangular opening. The rear of the barn has a substantial lean-to extension. Inside, there is a principal rafter roof supported by collars.
