The entrance bay at the western end is flanked by Doric half-columns that support an entablature, while a subsidiary entrance at the eastern end is marked by pilasters.

On the first floor, there are round-headed windows within Corinthian aedicules, each with a pierced balustrade. The second floor features square-headed windows beneath cornices on console brackets, with pierced balconettes and a continuous cill band. The third floor has segmental-headed windows with projecting cills on small brackets and a continuous cill band. The building is topped with a bracketed crowning cornice.
