Five story brick building, replacement metal framed large pane windows on all elevations. Cornice of cast stone string courses framing large window openings. Parapet at roofline with flat roof and mechanical penthouse. Recessed section (original loading platform for rail transportation) on rear (east) elevation. Modifications to west elevation (façade) to incorporate storefront type entrances at time of World's Fair. The south façade forms the primary elevation of original building, with two bays with a centered recessed entrance marked by cast stone engaged pilasters and a gabled portico. North elevation with continuation of cornice, replacement windows and other features common to remainder of building.

The building's current windows were installed when the Candy Factory was being rehabilitated in preparation for the 1982 World's Fair. Original windows were multi-paned steel windows; either currently proposed windows or multi-paned steel windows would be appropriate.
