The structure is two storeys high with a basement and attic, arranged in five by two bays. The entrance is a moulded segmental arch located at the center, flanked by round-arched windows that have keyblocks and a moulded string course above. On the first floor, tall round-arched recesses contain pedimented windows, with the central window featuring carved arms in the tympanum and a shallow bowed balustraded balcony. The interior has not been inspected.
