From the National Register nomination

Two-story, four-bay commercial building with seven-course American bond brickwork on a foundation of poured concrete. Upper-story window openings have soldier-course lintels, slightly projecting side framing, and wooden sills. Shed roof obscured from street by parapet with corbelled brickwork suggestive of modillions or brackets; a cast-stone coping caps the parapet walls. The storefront features a recessed entry of double-leaf glass doors set to the rear of stepped-back aluminum-framed display windows with Roman-brick aprons. The storefront surround, which extends to the height of the second-story window sills, is of enameled metal panels in peach and pale green. From the 1930s through the 1950s the building was home to Hyman's Department Store. In 1971 the building was occupied by a Cato's store.
