The building is eight stories high and nearly rectangular in plan, with two bays facing Braddock Avenue and six facing Seventh Street. It was designed by Pittsburgh architect Harry H. Lefkowitz in the International Style, with smooth, plain surfaces and a distinctive curved corner featuring large bands of glass brick on each floor above the main entrance. The street elevations are faced with white terra cotta, with brick infill in some of the window spaces which was added later.
