From the National Register nomination
Colonial Revival two-story building of cinder block with a stretcher-bond brick veneer and an overall U form embracing a courtyard on the east parking lot elevation. The building has a hip roof sheathed with simulation slate shingles, under which runs a dentil-like cornice. The walls have brick quoining at the corners and gauged jack arches over the windows. The first-story windows have 8/12 sash; the second-story windows have fake 6/6 sash. The one-story front entry porch has classical columns and pilasters and decorative metal railings and roof balustrade. A pair of curved brick steps descend to grade. The entry has a transom, sidelights, and a six-panel wood door. Along the sidewalks are brick retaining walls and landscaping, and the large rear parking lot is landscaped and shaded by trees. The Harrisonburg architectural firm Davis McClintock designed the building, which may have been built in the 1980s. (Don Swofford)
