The main entrances, having replacement doors, are located near the NE and NW corners, with 2 single sash units in between.

East façade fenestration includes 4 windows at 2nd level (south window slightly smaller) and three windows at 1st floor. West façade has five 1x1 sash units at 2nd level, at least 3 at 1st level.
