Its angled rear wall conformed to the railroad track, now taken up, that curved next to the structure. Walls are of brick laid alternating five stretcher courses with a single header course. They extend up above the roof line to form a parapet capped by terracotta tile. Inside the building a brick wall divides the old and new wings. All exterior brick and most of the interior brick has been painted.
Windows are twelve pane steel frame units, with a center panel that swings out for ventilation.
These window units are decades old, but likely are not original. The framing system of the building is almost all wood. Wooden columns approximately one foot square are set at intervals of approximately fifteen feet. A few on the first floor have been replaced with pipe columns, the only metal in the framing. The first floor is poured concrete while the upper floors are of heavy planking.
