Two-storey, six-light, dark-buff-brick building with classical influences (c. 1910).

Ground Floor – Divided into two, unequal units by painted brick piers. Elements of historic shop-fronts may remain, though clad in modern materials of anodized aluminum at stall-risers. Patterned glass is visible at 179. Signage is discreet, even elegant at 179 (“C.N. III”). Dentilled, wooden cornice above spans both units, with returns at outer piers.

Second Floor – Two groups of three windows, each group centred in upper wall of dark, buff brick masonry, without pilasters. Window apertures have rock-faced, stone sills and deep, continuous, stone lintels. Fenestration is replacement, with leaded-light, rectangular transoms above and large, single-pane sashes below. Central sash within each group is replaced with new, vertically sliding windows (which are now failing).

Entablature and Parapet – Parapet is embellished with elegant entablature in sheet-metal and brick, comprising brick dentils, continuous metal moulding, and plain brick frieze crowned by Corinthian-inspired metal cornice with dentils and modillions. All components of entablature return into masonry at north and south ends of façade. Additional brick courses, uncapped and unflashed at top, complete parapet.

South Elevation – Wall to lane to south is of painted brick, with wooden bay window towards rear. Fenestration is period 1/1 windows (behind aluminum storms), while lower bay has vertical, V-jointed boards on Insulbrick, probably over original wooden panels below.
