The structure is supported by round columns that feature ornate capitals and open work spandrels. It has a hipped roof adorned with an entablature that includes fringing of pendants and anthemion acroteria at the corners. Inside, there are partitions with benches and screens, although most of these have been filled with translucent plastic.
