From the National Register nomination

Two-story building of painted stretcher-bond brick above a dressed limestone foundation. The front parapet has corbeling, corbeled recessed panels, and two brick flues, and the second-story 1/1 windows have segmental heads. The storefront, which likely had a transom originally, has been bricked up and has two recessed entries and segmental-arch plate glass windows. At the two ends of the first story are relatively unaltered upstairs entries with three-light transoms. The east entry also has a molded surround. Sanborn maps may indicate construction of this building between 1902 and 1907 and more clearly indicate its presence by 1912. That year it contained an electric supplies shop, an automobile showroom, and a tin shop. A Singer Sewing Machine store occupied the building in 1918. McCrory's and the Harrisonburg Loan & Thrift were later occupants. Now attorney offices.
