Square-headed openings to first floor having six-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and painted stone sills.

Square-headed opening having glazed overlight over timber battened double-leaf doors.
Appraisal
This building retains many notable features such as the timber bargeboards to the dormer windows, slate roof and sash windows, which help to preserve the original appearance of the structure. The survival of the raised marbelised lettering on the fasica board is of considerable significance. Its roofline distinguishes the building, and makes it a more notable structure in the Croom streetscape.
