It was built in 1916, and is a two-story, rectangular, brick building measuring 40 by 100 feet (12 by 30 m). It was added to the front of an earlier wood frame building, which was later replaced with a two-story, irregularly shaped brick structure built in 1928. A two-story, brick addition was built in 1921. The addition measures 52 feet by 71 feet. The building was occupied by garment manufacturers into the 1990s.
