Note: "This building has a rectilinear plan and fronts onto NW Hoyt Street. It is connected to the adjacent MacKenzie House by an enclosed gallery. A rough-faced, random ashlar retaining wall flanks the southeastern portion of the building. The building is a two-story, wood frame structure with a concrete foundation and a gable roof with lower cross gables. There are skylights at the top of the roof. The cross gables have arched, louvred vents. On the south-facing gables, there are square vent holes arranged in a pyramidal pattern, echoing similar vents on the MacKenzie House. The exterior surface is shingled. On the west facade, the cross gables are cantilevered over the first story. The main entrance is located on the south facade, on a gallery connecting the building to the MacKenzie House. Entry is through glass doors with wood frames set into a glass wall. The connecting gallery has a flat roof with a deep overhang that shelters the entrance. It is accessed by concrete stairs. The predominant window type is single-pane, ribbon windows." source: Alphabet Historic District National Register Nomination.
