From the National Register nomination

One of three separate yet coordinated commercial buildings (with 129-131 and 137 N. Wayne) in the south half of the block, this two-story, two-bay structure with Spanish Colonial Revival overtones has a painted brick facade, Spanish tile parapet roof, dentil-pattern brick comice, cast-stone jack arches with keystones, and two pairs of six-over-six double-hung windows above a projecting brick belt course. The storefront appears to be original, with a cornice featuring dentils, a prism-glass transom, large display windows, and recessed entrance to a ground-level commercial space and a stairhall that leads to the second floor. In 1935 Reid's Billiard Room occupied 133. In 1951 Valley Restaurant was number 133 and Reid Building was number 135 (upstairs address). Building was rehabilitated in 1999-2000 with assistance of local facade improvement grant funds.
