To the left of the door is a large-pane, two-light horizontal-sliding sash window, and to the right are two similar three-light windows. On the first floor, there are two-light windows, with the one at the far left being a later addition. All windows have painted stone sills and painted timber lintels above them. The building has chimneys located at the ends and just left of center.
