It is a three-story building on a corner and has a projecting cornice.[2]

It was built c.1880 by the local I.O.O.F. chapter that was formed in 1844. It is notable as a rare surviving example in Portsmouth of an intact Italianate commercial building. Doorways and windows on its first floor are set off by stone columns that appear to be Tuscan order, which support a plain entablature. [3]
