The building is decidedly contemporary in style, although the red brick pays homage to the surrounding prewar rowhouse architecture.

2222 North Howard Street is situated in a relatively convenient location, standing one short block north of Norris Square Park and two short blocks to the southwest of the York-Dauphin station on the Market-Frankford subway line. Route 3, 39, and 89 buses stop within a several-block radius.
