It is a four-story building, built out of brick and covered by a flat roof.

The ground floor houses four storefronts articulated by cast iron columns, and the upper floors have eight bays, four of which consist of projecting polygonal bays.

It has a deep bracketed cornice, and a band of dentil brickwork between the first and second floors.

[2] The building was designed by Winslow & Wetherell, a Boston architectural firm, and completed in 1893 for Arthur Cobb, a Boston merchant and real estate developer.

Cobb's other Brookline properties included a stone rowhouse on Walnut Street and a second commercial block with six storefronts on Station Street.
