It has an asymmetrical facade designed in the Interwar Gothic style which features a Tudor inspired "tower" facade incorporating crenellations, a large arched doorway to one side, and a round headed window to the other. Stylistic elements include rounded-gable parapets, and an Art Nouveau lettering plaque over the smaller entrance.
