The central entrance consists of a four-panel door topped with a fanlight, framed by a pilaster and pediment doorcase. At the rear, there is a large arched window that serves the staircase. Inside, the contemporary stair runs through the full height of the building and is adorned with stick balusters. The ground floor includes an elliptical arched opening flanked by fluted pilasters and features contemporary panelled doors.
