It is a three-story building constructed with load-bearing masonry walls. It was built at cost of $15,656.00 to contractor Moore Construction Co. for the structure and $10,000 to R. W. Parrish for woodwork. Its NRHP nomination asserts that it is an "outstanding" example of early 20th-century architecture in Nagodoches and that it "is most noted for its strong vertical expression. This is established by the use of 3-story piers on each comer and in the center bay that rise to a stepped parapet, and the vertical muntins found on all windows." [2]
