This two story, 3x5 bay, Italianate style commercial building has a brick, stone and concrete foundation, clapboard siding, corner board trim, a concrete water table and a flat roof with a parapet. An altered store front is no longer in use and large display windows have been infilled with siding and small sash, though the original form and cornice trim is retained. The entry to offices is now on the east side of the building. The overhanging, molded roof cornice is supported by carved brackets on a wide frieze on three sides of the building. The windows are 1/1 and the windows on the second story retain the original molded drip caps and plain surrounds. The west side of the building has five asymmetrically placed windows on the second floor and only two on the first floor. An interior chimney rests in the center near the west side of the building. There is a rear exterior stairwell and porch which leads to an apartment unit. There is an additional entry at the front left bay leading to an upstairs apartment unit.
This well preserved Italianate building contributes to the diversity of architectural styles on North Street. B.J. Fayette is the first listed owner according to city directories. He sold dry goods and groceries here. The building is now home to the Burlington Land Trust. While adapted to a new use, the rehab to offices sensitively retained much of the architectural detail associated with its commercial use.
