Two-story building of painted pressed stretcher-bond brick. The stepped front parapet features a three-part window with decorative muntins and a pediment containing a lunette with radial muntins. The second story is defined by corbeling at the top and a cast metal cornice at the bottom and has 1/1 windows with gauged jack arches and fake shutters. The two storefronts and center upper-level entry retain historic features such as translux transoms, display windows with tile aprons, dressed limestone curbs, and recessed entries with pavements in white, tan, green, and red octagonal tiles. In 1924 the building contained two stores. In 1955 the Charles L. Fauls Clothing Co. occupied the building. Now Chancel Choir Room for Harrisonburg Presbyterian Church, which adjoins on the west.
