It is a two-story brick building with a patterned metal hipped roof, with two gabled dormers and six brick chimneys and two "small metal towerets and an ornamented ridge cap", as well as a two-story turret. It is described as Late Victorian in style, combining elements of Romanesque Revival and Queen Anne styles, which it terms as sub-styles of Victorian. Queen Anne characteristics include the irregular massing and some details; Romanesque Revival elements include the rounded stonework arch above the building's corner entrance.[2]

The building "is unique among the commercial buildings of downtown Stratford. The majority of other buildings in the central business district are relatively plain, one-story, brick, Commercial style resources."[2]
