The building stands four storeys tall, featuring a front wall made entirely of cast iron and glass, while the side walls are blind and constructed of brick. A central splayed recessed entrance porch leads into the building, showcasing a mosaic floor and cast-iron arcading on the first and second storeys. Inside, there is a central stairwell around which the upper floors are galleried.
