The windows on the ground and first storeys are topped with cornices supported by small console brackets. The ground storey windows are positioned above a plain stucco Doric doorcase, which includes fluted half columns, a triglyph frieze, and a cornice, all accessed by stone steps. The roof is slate, featuring a stucco modillion eaves cornice. This building is part of a group that includes No 10, Nos 14 to 32 (even), Nos 1 to 11 (odd), No 13 (Old Museum Rooms), and Nos 14 and 16 on Arcade Street.
