"Constructed in the Jacobethan style, this hotel is nine stories in elevation, It is tall and narrow in appearance as a result of its 25 foot frontage, accentuated by the lower surrounding buildings to the north and south.

The facade terminates in a decorative terra cotta double gable. The summit of the roof is crenallated and accented with terra cotta."
