Description

This building is a three-storey Burger King, constructed with cement rendered cladding, featuring a fluted cornice and a parapet. The chimney stacks have been cut down, and modern shop windows are present on the ground floor. The narrow northern elevation has a gable and three bays, with semi-circular headed windows on the second floor. The central window is taller and has paterae on the spandrels, with an archivolt that continues down as an architrave to a square-headed window on the first floor.

The symmetrical eastern elevation consists of eleven bays, with the end bays projecting forward. Each of these has a corbelled stack in the centre, flanked by round-headed windows on the second floor and square-headed windows on the first floor. The five intermediate bays are recessed, with a corbelled stack in the middle bay and two closely spaced bays on each side, featuring round-headed windows above and square-headed windows below.

At the southern end is a formerly separate two-storey building with two windows, finished in stucco and topped with a curvilinear parapet with pinnacles. It has two mullion and transom windows on the top floor and two pairs of windows on the first floor, along with a modern shopfront.

Inside, the building has been modernised, but the Mahogany Room at the northern end of the upper floor retains its original panelling, mosaic friezes, and stained glass windows. This room, where many shipping deals were once discussed, has walls divided into three bays. The east wall features a central fireplace with a hood above a corbelled convex marble relief, panelled pilasters, and flanking bays with stained glass semi-circular headed windows at a lower level, each topped with a mosaic panel and a stained glass roundel (one of which is pointed). The north wall has three semi-circular headed stained glass windows, each surmounted by a mosaic frieze and, in the end bays, a stained glass roundel. The centre bay contains a semi-circular headed window depicting St George and the Dragon. At the south end of the room, there is a gallery accessible from the upper floor, and the west wall is also panelled. A staircase with panelled walls leads to the upper levels.
