The four-story hotel features arched windows all throughout the building on the second floor and up. In the center of the building facing the street on the left are small decorative pediments above each floor from the second floor and up. At the top, above all the other small pediments, is a larger and wider pediment. Further above it is yet another pediment where underneath it displays "Nadeau 1883." The first floor consists mostly of shops. Some stores have striped cloth awnings covering their window fronts. Other commercial buildings can be seen to the left and right of the hotel. Streetcar tracks line the intersection in the foreground. The streets are busy with pedestrian and horse carriage traffic. At the corner of the hotel, on top of the roof, is a corner sign that reads "Hotel Nadeua."
