The front has a central 20th-century door set in a solid segmental head frame, and there is a 20th-century trellis porch in front of it. To the left, there is a three-light segmental head casement window, while to the right, there are two 12-pane sash windows. On the first floor, there are two-light casements on either side of a single light window. The building features toothed eaves and has end stacks.
