The middle section projects and has a tripartite window with two 2-pane sashes, while the right-hand section contains a single window. On the left-hand return, there are two 6-pane windows with panels beneath. The rear of the building has unpainted brick walls between the columns, featuring sunken panels. The interior is plain and is currently used as a store. This building is part of a significant and cohesive group of Georgian dockyard structures.
