From the National Register nomination
Two-story cinder block building with partial stretcher-bond red brick veneer. The building was originally constructed as one story but was raised to two stories soon after its initial construction. The front first-story has blond brick signage panels in (what was originally) its front parapet and a corbeled brick vane over the front entry (a support for a former sign?). Other features include evidence of former stepped side parapets, an asphalt-shingled mansard roof, a former rear garage, stuccoed side elevations, and fake 6/6 windows. In 1955 this building was noted as vacant, but by 1960 it was occupied as an office and auto repair garage (and it was two stories in height). In the 1960s it contained the Yellow Cab taxi stand, and it has also served as a restaurant, dress shop, bookstore, and monument shop. (Charles Sellers)
