The gable end facing Roper Street features an elaborate doorway with fluted Ionic three-quarter columns on pedestals, bulbous reverse architraves around the door opening, and raised panels in the reveals. Above the doorway is a broken ogee pediment adorned with an acorn on an acanthus leaf motif. To the left of the doorway is a segmental arched carriage entrance. The Scotch Street facade has four windows on each of its three storeys, all of which have similar architraves to the doorway, featuring bulbous reverse mouldings. The building also has quoins. This property is part of a group that includes Nos 23 to 30 Roper Street and Nos 1 to 10 Scotch Street.
