The masonry consists of stone blocks with raised corner stones . The west-facing main facade of the three-story building is five axes wide. Doric pilasters flank the entrance doors on either side. They have crowning cornices . A stone balustrade runs on the base cornice between the doors . The windows on the first floor are designed in the style of aedicules with Corinthian pilasters and crowning triangular gables . A balcony with a stone balustrade, mounted on ornamented consoles , runs across the entire floor width. An ornate cornice runs above the window. The facade closes with a wide cornice with a stone balustrade on top. The south facade is designed similarly, but a bit simpler.
