From the National Register nomination
One-story Art Deco commercial building of brick on a poured concrete foundation, with cast-stone facade panels flanked by fluted pilasters that extend from ground level to the flat parapet. Facade ghost marks reveal signage spelling out "A&N/ Mens's Wear / Sport Goods." The recessed storefront retains aluminum-framed fixed display windows atop buff-colored brick aprons, with double-leaf glass entry doors. In 1951 through at least 1971 the ABC Store was located at this address. A&N was located in the building more recently; Waynesboro Rapid Print currently occupies the building.
