Towering, three-storey, red-brick and stone building – of Venetian inspiration (c. 1880s).

Ground Floor – Shope front is set between painted brick piers at either side, and beneath very large plywood fascia. Wooden, modillioned cornice (with blocks below pilasters), caps this level, butting into deep, carved brackets at either side.

Second Floor – Upper two floors are tripartite, forming full-width bay window between lateral pilasters. In side bays, 1/1 windows (with metal storms) rise from ashlar stone sills to similar lintels, with recessed, corbelled brick panels above. In central bay, two 1/1 windows (with metal storms) are in triangular-headed opening. Stone sill is over dog-toothed, brick piers, with similar motif over deep, triangular stone lintel above. Ornamental stone blocks, with ashlar stone disks above, decorate pilasters at lintel height. In central window, wooden colonette with turned capital at 2/3 height, may suggest different, original, sash sizes.

Third Floor and Parapet – Bay window continues, ending at deep, heavily machicolated parapet. Windows again have ashlar sills and lintels, semi-recessed side windows are partly hidden by squinch arches, and have pointed-arch, upper sashes. Central pair of double-hung windows is again separated by turned colonette as at floor below. Central tympanum above, with dichromatic brick chevron, is framed by broad, ashlar arch with outer, ogee profile. At central wall-head, pediment framed by several courses of corbelled brickwork rises between upper parapets. Parapet is crowned by stone cornice and copings. Superstructure has lost decorative upper elements, and at both sides of pediment.
