Slate roof with advanced eaves and rectangular stacks with dripstones and capping; there are gable stacks to either end and a single ridge stack offset to the R (S). The principal elevation faces the street to the W, the main door offset to the L (N) under a shallow overlight and is flanked by 4-pane horned sash windows; there is another (delivery) door at the far R (S) end and 3 similar first floor windows regularly spaced across the elevation.
