Neo-Georgian style. Entrance front to Slatey Road with advanced entrance towards centre: paired Corinthian columns flank double doors in stone architrave, "Williamson Art Gallery and Museum" inscribed in the cornice above. Flanking bays marked by large brick-work panels with rusticated brick frieze below stone cornice, and brick quoins at angles. Paired Corinthian pilasters each side of recessed round arched window towards the right. Centre of elevation to Ball's Road slightly advanced and marked by 6 Corinthian pilasters under cornice with paterae.
