Square-headed windows with moulded render surrounds with moulded cornices having pulvinated friezes, blocking courses to first floor, plinths and painted sills. One-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Timber shopfront on polished limestone plinth. Fluted pilasters, end ones supporting fluted brackets, plain fascia with raised timber lettering, having moulded cornice with dentils, and plate-glass display windows framed by Ionic colonettes and decorative spandrels.

Appraisal
This urban building has a good timber shopfront with fine detail and represents one of the best examples in the district of the integration of classical detail into shopfront design. The retention of timber sash windows enhances the building.
