The windows have wedge lintels; the first-floor windows feature 12-pane sashes, while the second-floor windows have sills and 6-pane sashes. At the rear, there is a gabled wing. Inside, there is a stick-baluster stair and cornices in the first-floor rooms. The building is included for its group value.
