From the National Register nomination
One of three separate yet coordinated commercial buildings (with 129-131 and 133-135 N. Wayne) in the south half of the block, this two-story, one-bay structure with Spanish Colonial Revival overtones has a buff-colored brick facade, Spanish tile parapet roof, dentil-pattern brick cornice, cast-stone jack arches with keystones, and one group of three six-over-six double-hung windows above a projecting brick belt course. This is the only one of the three buildings whose brick facade remains unpainted. The storefront's recessed-entry form remains relatively intact, although the display windows and transoms have been either covered or replaced with plywood panels. Home to the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board Store No. 141 in 1935 and to an Advance Store in 1951.
