The original company office building is a rectangular, 2 1/2-story brick structure, topped by a hip roof with pedimented dormers. Exterior ornamentation is simple; a sandstone water table along the base of first story windows and a bay window on the east end balances a modest paired column entrance porch. Recognized as the birthplace of General Motors, it is designated as a National Landmark Historic Structure.
