From the National Register nomination
Two-story, two-bay commercial building of painted brick with a tall front parapet detailed with a stepped brick cornice. The original copper-framed storefront with recessed entries remains intact beneath a classically inspired modern cornice. Above the cornice, obscuring the original transom, ts a false mansard roof of standing seam metal; it is replicated above the second story windows. The building's windows have been replaced with vinyl double-hung sash; the original openings do remain unaltered. Attached to the rear of the building, accessed by an unpaved alley, is a one-story concrete block garage or storage room with a pair of garage doors having braced-batten lower panels and mult-pane-glazed upper panels. In 1935, 1951, and 1971 principal occupant was Waynesboro Paint Store; the second floor typically housed two additional tenants.
