It was built about 1830, and is a two-story, four bay wide, brick temple form building in the Jeffersonian Roman Revival style. The building is surrounded by a Tuscan entablature with a Tuscan pediment at either end. The front facade features an open arcade one-bay deep on the ground floor with six rounded arches.[3]
