From the National Register nomination
Two-story brick commercial building, now occupied by Cycle/Recycle Store. Of brick construction with five-course common bond buff-colored vitreous brick veneer on upper floor in fourteen panels between vertical dividers each one-stretcher brick wide. Flat roof obscured by plain parapet with cast-stone coping. A brushed aluminum canopy, cantilevered across the width of the building, further defines the facade. The rear elevation, facing Federal Street, reveals the junction between the earliest portion of the building, erected about 1940 and located at the west end of the structure, and the expansion that dates from ca. 1950. The first story of the facade has been modified with closed-in display windows and modern fenestration including a central recessed entry with two pairs of glazed double doors. Green granite panels detail the pier ends at aprons and transoms of display windows.
