There are giant pilaster strips at the angles of the upper floors, with the two central bays advanced in steps. The windows consist of single and paired architraved designs, with two-pane timber sash and case glazing.
The front elevation has modern shopfronts at the ground floor. The first and second floors each have two bipartite windows, along with two single windows located on the left and right sides of the first and second floors.
