It is a three-story monumental building on a half-story-high basement, with beige brick veneer walls and a four-stage dome.[2]

The building was expanded with small side wings in 1935 and expanded much further in 1966 with larger side wings that doubled the building's size, but the central block remains prominent.[2]
