This two story, five bay, flat-roofed, Italianate style square block is a store front at the ground floor on the east and part of the north and elevation. The building has a stone foundation, corner boards, water table, four belt courses dividing the windows, clapboard siding and fishscale wood shingles. Five small scrolled brackets are spaced between larger brackets at the cornice with vertical wood panels beneath. The 1/1 windows adorned with plain surrounds and a shed cornice mold supported by brackets are asymmetrically placed. A fillet course with rope molding is located beneath the bracketed cornice above the store front windows on the first floor. The four entrances at the store front on the east elevation feature transoms and are surrounded by large, divided-light picture windows and delicately paneled pilasters. Two of the entrances are recessed, all are paneled. A two story porch spanning a portion of the building's rear, features a handicapped ramp at the first floor and portions of a wooden half wall with square support posts on the second floor. Paneled wood doors exist at both floors.
This building has housed a private school, a barber shop, grocery store, feed store, paint store and apartments and is typical of the use patterns and architectural style. The building is listed on the Burlington Register of Historic Resources.
