This building is an outstanding local example of the Chicago style of commercial architecture. The wide bays feature Chicago-style windows and pressed metal spandrel panels between stories. The original storefronts are still intact. The only semmingly incongrous element for an otherwise innovative design is the cornice, with its paired brackets of mid-19th century Italianate derivation.

The McIntosh Building possesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workmanship.
