It was built in three sections; the oldest dating to 1899-1900, with additions made in 1916 and 1958-1959. The oldest section is a two-story, rectangular brick building in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. It is nine bays by four bays and has a dual pitched hipped roof. The 1916 addition is two stories and in the Colonial Revival style.
