Tudor Revival two-and-a-half-story seven-unit apartment building with textured stucco exterior and a clipped gable roof with terra-cotta tile roofing. Tudor features include false half-timbering in a jettied center front gable, in gabled dormers, and in the gables of the two-tier porches at the front gables, and also as cross-braced panels under the second-story windows. The corner porches have stuccoed pillars and a stuccoed solid railing on the first stories and square wood columns and square balusters in the second stories. The front entry is sheltered by a curved stoop on brackets and has a double-leaf glass panel door. On the two gable ends rise stuccoed exterior chimneys with soldier-course brick caps and octagonal terra-cotta chimney pots. A large original two-story wing extends to the rear, with two-story bay windows on the north and south sides, a shaped parapet, a basement story with segmental-arch 1/1 windows, and an enclosed porch of three-tiers (counting the basement story) on the back. Other features include a brick foundation, 9/9 and 6/6 windows with fake muntins, and original window boxes under the second-story front windows.
