Measuring two-and-a-half stories tall, the Hoodin Building was an Italianate structure with weatherboarded walls and a foundation of fieldstone.

A raised basement necessitated the construction of wooden stairways to permit access to the building's front porches, both of which were heavily ornamented.

Besides the porches, the building featured such details as a cornice with brackets, a symmetrical facade, and pedimented lintels above the windows of the second story.

[2] For this reason, a 1978 historic preservation survey found the building distinctive enough for special mention.

[1] Despite this distinction, the Hoodin has been demolished;[4] the site is now an empty lot.
