From the 1984 NR nomination:

Small one-story brick building with cornice of small corbelled pendants and tall transom of small panes of glass across main facade just above plate glass display windows. 


It currently houses Park West Barber School, which has been a welcome addition to the 900 block of East Main since ~2006. The presence of students and an active retail frontage help to enliven what is otherwise a too-quiet block face.
