It is three bays wide and two stories high, with running bond red brick foundation and building walls, and a water table constructed in 1911.

The front features a simple cornice surmounting a stone entablature reading: 1801 Baltimore General Dispensary 1911.

The interior originally featured a large dispensary center on the first floor, separated for black and white patients.

The rooms for surgical and medical aid on the second floor gave the poor a measure of privacy rarely available to charity patients.

[2] Baltimore General Dispensary was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
