From the National Register nomination

Two-story building of painted brick construction with a shed roof behind a corbeled front parapet. The building has several E. Elizabeth St. storefronts with entries with eight-light transoms, windows with paneled wood aprons, and wooden storefront cornices. A change of brick color on the rear elevation may signify two periods of construction. Other features include a limestone foundation and replacement plate glass windows. Former occupants of this building included Garrison Press and a Delco Light store. In 1982 painted signage was still visible reading "Delco Light Products/Electric Plants and Water Systems." Present occupants include Howdy's Barber Shop (41), By The Corner Custom Frame Shop (51), and Iglesia Pentecostal Unida (71). Note: The building is misidentified as 41-81 West Elizabeth St. in the 1982 survey.
