With its ground-hugging horizontality and modernist abstraction, this single-story rectangular building contrasts with its taller early-twentieth-century neighbors. The exterior walls of vertical cast-stone panels and continuous horizontal clerestory windows are shaded by the overhanging flat roof. An off-center porch projects to the front and features a gently bowed screen of polished brown granite vertical panels spaciously set within aluminum frames. Typical of African American businesses in Savannah, hand-painted signage spells out the shop’s name on ribbons above and below a scene, drawn within an oval shape, that juxtaposes portrait busts with a stylized urban setting.
