The Schmidt Block is a three-plus story building constructed of red stone that was built on a brick foundation.

[3] The main façade was designed in the Romanesque Revival style made popular by Henry Hobson Richardson.

[6] It features large round-arched windows with tuned-stone surrounds on the third floor, roughly dressed stone, and stunted columns on the attic level arcade that are topped by a cornice.

While the storefront has been modernized, the building retains its recessed entrance into the first-floor commercial space and transom signage.

The building immediately to the east has since been torn down and a sheltered outdoor seating area for the restaurant has been added that looks over the urban style park that sits between the Schmidt Block and the RiverCenter, the city's convention center.
