On the south elevation, there is a centrally located door that is now blocked, flanked by windows. The left window retains its original glazing, while the right window has a lower section with four-pane glazing and an upper section with Y-tracery. The eaves cornice and projecting eaves add to the architectural detail.
The west elevation features a bowed wall with a centrally placed window, which has a four-pane lower section and a two-pane upper section.
