This 5x4 bay, flat-roofed, three story tenement building was constructed in a square plan with a three story, unadorned, wooden porch attached to the rear elevation. The foundation is stone and the walls are brick, accentuated by rock-faced quoins on the facade corners. The main entrance is a centrally located, metal door encased in a metal frame, and topped by a four-pane transom light and a rock-faced stone lintel. A date stone (1905) is located between the center bay window and the door. Windows on the front facade are 1/1 adorned with rock-faced stone lintels and sills. Windows on the three remaining elevations are 1/1 with elliptical window hoods. Below the cornice and above the top story windows is a rock-faced stone belt course, and just above that, at the bay locations are rectangular stones framed by bricks. The center bay location has a long, rock-faced grey stone that matches the foundation, lintels, sills, quoins and belt course. A small parking lot to the east of the building is used by its tenants.
This building represents one of the final layers of structures erected on North Street's commercial end. The first tenants were a lumber yard employee, a laborer and a carpenter, reflecting the working class nature of the neighborhood. The building is listed on the Burlington Register of Historic Resources.
