The large two-story structure is characterized by irregular massing and terra cotta and sandstone trim that contribute to its architectural interest. The original main block has been altered, although an addition was made in 1957. The building was designed by prominent Denver architect Robert S. Roeschlaub, responsible for numerous schools in Denver, as well as Trinity Church and the Central City Opera House.
