The front of the building is divided into two sections. The southern section has two storeys, two dormers, a parapet, a band below, and a two-window range of double-hung sashes with glazing bars. The northern section is at a lower level and also has two storeys, with coping and a band between the storeys, as well as a two-window range of double-hung sashes with glazing bars. It boasts a fine Georgian doorcase with a pediment head, a decorated frieze, and clustered pillars. The ground floor features a new three-light sash with glazing bars.
