308:-story brick structure with Colonial Revival style, from which a two-lane metal porte-cochere extends. The building has a side gable roof and corbelled brick chimneys. The building corners have brick quoining, and many of its windows have angled brick-and-marble lintels with keystones. There is a rosette window at the center of the main facade, and similar louvered openings at the tops of the side gables.
