Red brick façade laid in Flemish bond with cement repointing and flashed coping to parapet wall. Cement rendered side and rear elevations. Early twentieth-century shopfront comprising panelled pilasters joined by fascia board with dentil enriched cornice and two display windows with vertical glazing bars, over stallriser. Double-leaf flat-panelled timber doors with overlight gives access to shop. Second shopfront similar to former to single-storey section to north.

Appraisal
This house retains many fine architectural details, including the shopfront and timber sash windows. It is one of the few intact buildings on this side of Catherine Street south of Glentworth Street.
