The front of the building is stuccoed, with paired end pilasters. The ground floor windows are arranged in segmental arched recesses, and there are five sash windows with glazing bars. There are two entrances, each with a Tuscan porch. A single-window extension has been added to the right, with a further lean-to extension set back behind it.
