Arvonia

Arvonia is a building constructed in yellow brick with patterned bands in red-black brick, topped with a slate roof that features some surviving crested ridge tiles and yellow brick corniced end stacks, also patterned. The structure consists of a shop with accommodation in the right-hand block and a warehouse and stores in the left-hand range. It is three storeys high with a four-window range on the right and a two-storey, four-window range on the left, all built as a single unit.

The ground floor of the right range includes a house door on the right, which is enclosed by iron rails, followed by a broad timber shopfront that spans the other three bays and continues to include the throughway under the right bay of the two-storey left range. The shopfront is made of painted timber with four panelled pilasters, a fascia divided by console brackets over the pilasters, and a moulded cornice. To the right of the pilasters is a door with an overlight, followed by three large plate-glass panes in the shop window. Originally, there was a recessed entry between two sets of two-light shop windows, leading to the throughway flanked by pilasters. To the left of the throughway, there are two windows, followed by a window paired with a door. The windows are plate-glass two-light with cambered heads on each light.

The upper floors feature brick dentilled eaves cornices, with first and second floor windows consisting of four-pane cambered-headed sashes that have raised painted brick surrounds. The heads are curved with keystones, the jambs are rusticated, and there are flush slate sills. Brick bands are present at both head and sill levels. The taller block has a lozenge-patterned band between the upper floors, with the name 'Arvonia' displayed in large gilded raised capitals at the centre. Between the ground and first floors, there is a double band with crosses between the bands.
