It is a three-story warehouse with floor heights of 24, 20, and 16 feet. The original building is 74 by 100 feet (23 m × 30 m) in plan. It is built of masonry, with post and beam construction. Its upper levels are supported by three rows of wooden posts, which are built upon three rows of brick and stone load-bearing piers in the basement and street levels.[2] It was expanded in 1936 by addition of a 51 by 50 feet (16 m × 15 m) one-story addition.[2]

The warehouse is more decorated than most of its peers (brick warehouses in Utah). It was deemed one of the best-preserved early works of architect Ware, "and considered in the context of other period warehouses, represents a high achievement in warehouse architecture."[2]

It was one of 16 buildings included in listing of the Warehouse District as a historic district in 1982.[3]
