The original part of today's building is square in form. The main door faces west onto Houston Street. A triple-sash window is installed on either side of the door, which has a molded arch above it, surrounding a semi-circular soda–lime glass window with ten panes. Also either side of the door, about halfway up, are two small lanterns. Four steps on either side rise to meet, creating the stoop. An iron railing begins from the second steps.
The East York Street (northern) side of the building has three triple-sash windows.
The East York Lane (southern) façade has a door, with a single sash window immediately either side of it and a triple sash on the eastern extremity, giving an asymmetrical appearance. The door, reached by four brick steps, has the same semi-circular window design, and two lanterns, as the main door. Another door, facing south but part of a wing on the building's eastern façade, is accessed by a set of concrete steps. The yard is surrounded on the Houston Street and East York Lane sides by a brick wall with light gaps. There is a gate in the wall on the Houston Street side.
The eastern (rear) side has a single-storey extension, likely part of the remodeling of 1965.
The roof, in the hip-style with a flat top, is made of slate, with lead flashing on its ridges, valleys, hips and drip edges.
