Round-headed door opening, recent tooled limestone Gibbsian surrounds, plain-glazed fanlight, painted timber panelled door; segmental-headed carriage opening to east of south elevation, red brick block-and-start surround, timber vertically sheeted double doors.

Appraisal
Located in a narrow laneway, this fine building terminates the vista from Mayoralty Street and the north quays and thus occupies a dramatic position in the streetscape. The timber sliding sash windows, snecked stone and red brick dressings are notable features.
