From the National Register nomination
Originally Roses 5 10 and 25c Store, this one-story painted brick commercial building features simple Moderne motifs including a recessed corner block that emphasizes the building's corner site and interrupts three projecting brick courses that wrap around the two principal elevations at parapet level. Windows along the Wayne Street elevation are placed high on the wall, typical of the over-shelf height preferred by retailers. The storefront has been remodeled with modern fixed display windows and recessed entries of smoked glass, but the original band-like metal storefront cornice has been retained.
