International-style two-story building with exposed concrete frame and stretcher-bond brick veneers of blond and dark brown brick. The flat-roofed building has a second story with brick planes that overhang the recessed first story, which is principally plate glass. A terrace with battered concrete walls and metal handrails wraps around the building, and on the west end a teller window projects under a simple concrete-frame drive-through shelter. To the rear extends a late 19th century one-story addition with a stretcher-bond blond brick veneer and a slightly lower hyphen connection to the original building. On the addition's basement level are four garage doors; a staggered wall of blond brick extends from its southwest corner to S. Liberty St. Signage identifies the building as the Harrisonburg Electric Commission, the original occupant.
