From the National Register nomination
Two-story, two-bay commercial building of brick construction with stretcher-bond brick facade, paired upper-story windows with modern fixed pane sash separated by original wooden mullions, cast stone sills, and slightly projecting pilasters. A tall flat parapet on the facade and stepped parapets down the side walls hide the shed roof from view. A modern awning-like sign projects from the facade over the metal-framed display windows, obscuring the original transom and other decorative storefront elements. Two entrances at the ground level lead into the first-story commercial space and to the stairhall to the second story. The building was occupied by Augusta Furniture Company from at least 1935 through 1971 and currently houses Artistic Framing & Gallery shop and A Touch of Love Dolls & Gifts.
