Ukrainian People's Home of Ivan Franko

• the large rectangular form of wood-frame construction, with a two-storey, gable-roofed main hall and a one-storey, shed-roofed extension on the east side, all clad in horizontal wood siding
• the three bulbous black banyas atop the main hall, the largest on the peak and two smaller ones at the corners, each topped with a flagpole
• the basic design and detailing of the main hall, including the centrally placed double entrance doors sheltered by a small black overhang, the building's name inscribed in Ukrainian over the doors and moderately sized double-hung windows set in simple wooden frames on all elevations

Key elements that define the building's internal function as a social and cultural hub include:

• the informal plan, including the large unobstructed hall space, a wooden stage at the south end, a balcony along the north wall and the open area of the east-side extension, accessed by two large sets of double doors
• stage features such as a hand-painted curtain depicting the hall's namesake, Ivan Franko, as well as a bronze bust of poet Taras Shevchenko and various crests; strip lighting along the front; compartments built into the floor to allow the transfer of props, food, etc., from the basement; and shielded director's `porthole'
• the simple, but effective ornamentation, with the main hall featuring maple hardwood floors, wood plank ceilings and walls with wainscotting, all painted blue and white; decorative wood finishing along the balcony front and entrance; period mouldings and trim around doors and stage; a large antique wood stove; etc.
