This brick building is an example of the Romanesque Revival style popular at the end of the nineteenth century at beginning of the twentieth.

Distinctive stylistic elements are:

• asymmetrical facades with cavernous, Roman-arched entryways and window openings
• thick masonry walls, typically of red brick with polychromatic terra cotta trim or other contrasting stone
• rounded towers with conical roof
• corbels and corbel tables
• naturalistic spiky leaf ornament and ornament derived from European churches
