This two-story building is the centerpiece in a series of three two-story Beaux Arts facades. Slender ionic columns separate the four one-over-one, double-hung second story windows. A decorative cornice runs above the columns and windows. A larger cornice and blank frieze framed by curved brackets and square capitals accent the parapet. Architectural details on the ground floor include transom windows above the recessed entrances and a larger three-panel transom running the length of the building. The building was rehabilitated in 1993. The building also has a large vertical neon sign projecting from the face, which was originally installed in 1950 for the Pasadena Stationery Company.
