This four-storey, three-bay building with an attic, known as Ellison’s (St Anne’s Buildings), was constructed in 1887 on Donegall Street, Belfast, for linen manufacturer John Douglas.

The twin gables are topped with a raised parapet and kneelers; the roof covering is not visible. The building features a replacement aluminium shop front and entrance door with external roller shutters concealed behind the signage. All upper-floor windows have been replaced.
