It is a stuccoed, cast concrete building. Its interior features stained glass windows by the Povey Brothers, three of them large, some of them damaged in 1959. In 1959, "a chemical truck explosion leveled eight blocks of the city and extensively damaged many buildings in the city." Only one of the large windows was in its original condition, as of 1974.[2]
