| Description |
Designed in a Classical Revival style and constructed out of red brick with brick and white stone detailing. It is a symmetrical three-story building featuring a grand temple-front portico with entablature and pediment supported by unique two-story modified-Doric columns. The building's first story is differentiated by brick banding and topped with a stone stringcourse. The upper two stories feature patterned brick and stone spandrels and a sizable stone cornice with dentil molding, continuing the pattern established by the portico. |
| Modifications |
A 1949 addition was designed by Charles Freelove. The building was again remodeled in 1976, 1979, and 1981. |
