It is a one-story 55 by 122 feet (17 m × 37 m) building, originally with six rooms, built of rusticated, coursed sandstone. Its NRHP nomination describes its masonry as "impressive, especially on the corners. The Richardsonian influence is apparent. The roof is flat with parapets; two front entryways on the west are recessed behind arches. Windows, with concrete sills, are arranged by threes and reach to the level of interior ceilings."[2]

Its construction provided work for unemployed coal miners.

The building has been modified with original parapets obscured by a roof and projecting walkway.
