Notable architectural details include a cornice at the ground floor, a cill course on the second floor, an eaves cornice, and a blocking course.
The south elevation facing High Street is symmetrical, featuring a Roman Doric columned doorcase at the center with a deep-set panelled timber door and a four-pane fanlight above. To the right of the center is a commercial premises with a door on the right and a cash dispensing machine to the left. To the left of the center, there is another shop with ashlar pilasters flanking a door on the right and a display window on the left. The upper floors have regular fenestration, with the second-floor windows being smaller.
On the east elevation, which faces Lady Inn Wynd, there is a taller piend-roofed bay to the left of center that has two windows each on the ground and first floors, with a shouldered wallhead stack above. To the right, there are two tall windows in the bay.
The north elevation, facing Hill Street, features a broad bow-ended bay projecting to the left. It has a tall doorway with a moulded lintel and a two-leaf timber door with a boarded fanlight that includes a crest at the center. There is a plaque to the left reading 'THE SALVATION ARMY' and a tall window with a moulded lintel to the outer left. A lower wall has a small window abutting to the right of center. There are pitch and piend-roofed extensions adjoining the return wall to the left. The recessed face includes a tall central stair tower with a lantern and a window in the bay to the right at the first floor.
The building features a 12-pane glazing pattern in timber sash and case windows and is covered with graded grey slates. The chimney stacks are cavetto coped and shouldered ashlar with cans, while the skews are also ashlar-coped. Decorative cast-iron downpipes with a rainwater hopper are located on the north side.
