Tall, two-storey, three-bay, polychrome brick and stone, of Italianate inspiration (c. 1884)

Ground Floor – Shop-front materials are inappropriate to masonry of second floor, but not without intrinsic value. Corrugated aluminum stall-risers and lower pilasters rise to black Vitrolite upper panels and signage above, proudly proclaiming the 1950s. Doors at recessed central entry are contemporary with shop-fronts. Modest wooden cornice above seems original and complete. An Edwardian, glazed wooden door remains over stone step at RH side, having peripheral panels framing large central pane, and with patterned glass in upper and lower panes, and with period hardware (except transverse push-type handle). More recent gold lettering on transom window advertises Maple Leaf Hall.

Second Floor – Masonry is of red brick, with continuous stone sills and cast-stone lintels, save where pilasters rise through this level. All bays similar except 4, with shell-inspired, cast-stone tympana set within dichromatic brick arches and with cast-stone hood-mouldings springing from small masonry brackets within lintel level. Bay 4 (above entry to upper floors) is similar, but squeezed between pilasters and with ogee, hood-moulding and tiny, cast-stone tympanum. 2/1 windows remain behind metal storms.

Cornice and Parapet – Second floor is crowned by polychrome, machicolated, segmental-arch brick cornice with continuous, dentil-like corbelling below. Small decorated buff-and-black brick occuli are set within wider machicolations centred below three, small, brick gables. Continuous band of black stretchers above machicolees rises at pilasters to follow line of gables above. Parapet is capped with deep wooden cornice with heavy metal flashing above.
