There is a man in working clothes and hat standing on the hitch of the wagon. The building has a verandah which has a small gable roof, this gable is over one of the entrances to the building. There is an electric light at the end of this gable roof. The verandah is supported by decorative wooden posts and semicircular or elliptical facias depending on the width between posts.
Above the small gable roof on the verandah is a gable stucco façade with a floral decorative pattern on the inside of the gable. Along the rest of the roofline of the building is a rectangular stucco façade in which the names of the shops are imprinted.
