The corner building includes intricate cornice work with raised panel, dated 1893, topped with a lute sculpture, and a hipped pyramidal tower. Today, the wooden clapboards have been replaced by vinyl siding and the facade has been stripped of any ornamentation.

At lower left is the entrance to the Graham Street Station of the BMT Canarsie Line (today’s L train).
