Structure Description
The building is six bays wide. The second and the fifth bays appear as pavilions due to the amount of ornamental stone carvings and their slight protrusion from the face of the building. Each story is divided by a heavy belt course of different ornament and detail. The building is ultimately crowned by a large bracketed cornice that supports the straight-sided mansard roof. The roof once carried a dormer above each of the main bays. Their loss in 1930 is the only compromise to the building's exterior integrity.
