The masonry of the three-story building is made of red sandstone . The entrance is on the edge of the building. It is made with dazzling pillars and a detailed crown. On the ground floor, windows are built into wide round arches that are decorated in a similar way. A two-story corner tower protrudes above the door and closes with a steep, octagonal helmet. A bay window emerges on the left, which closes with a segmental arch gable. A simple cornice runs around on corbels below the roof . The roofs are covered with green slate.
