This buff-colored brick former bank is a handsome classical building with its main entrance in the canted corner. Above the cornice of the first floor, two-story Ionic pilasters separate the doubled windows of the second and third floors and support segmental, keystoned arches that are surmounted by a high parapet with an entablature featuring a modillion cornice.
