Two-story Modern commercial building with projecting end bays and a recessed central block. Exterior features include brick laid in stretcher bond, a flat roof, large rectangular window openings with flat arches and cast-stone sills, and steel windows with fixed center panels and transoms and flanking operable casements. The front entrance, with a metal-framed double-leaf door with sidelights and a transom on which is painted "Main Street Building," is recessed within the building's central bay, which is flanked by lanterns that incorporate translucent glass panels into a metal framework with shallow Tudor arches and Art Deco motifs. The building, used for offices, has a simple interior consisting of a double-loaded central corridor that begins just past the front stairhall. Contractor Robert W. Gray, whose office was located in the building, was responsible for its construction. (Shaw, Ranzini and Wood, "Waynesboro Downtown Historic District").
