Description

The one-storey concrete block building is clad with stucco on the north and south elevations, while the front facade is clad in common bond red brick with soldiers courses along the top and bottom. The building faces west/southwest at an angle to the street to emphasize its access from the street. A former center entrance in what may have been a 5-bay building has been bricked over with a different color brick from the main facade. Brick quoin forms extend into the south and north elevations. There is a one-storey rear addition on the east elevation and the main entrance is covered by an aluminum awning. Both sections have flat roofs, and the west facade is surmounted by a false parapet above the roof.
