Description

The building stands three storeys high and has a four-window range. Architectural details include raised angle strips, a plinth, floor bands, and an eaves band, with coping supported by moulded kneelers. The windows are sash style, with 9 panes on the upper floor and 12 panes elsewhere, all having bracketed sills. The entrance is off-centre and consists of a four-panel door with an overlight, set within a broad Roman Doric ashlar porch that has two paired columns on each side, a cornice, a parapet, and a single pilaster respond. A large iron lamp bracket is mounted on the front wall, which is not visible in photographs from around 1900.
