Cast-iron hopper and rainwater goods shared with building to south breaking through above second floor. Yellow brick walls laid in Flemish bond to ground floor shopfront. Gauged brick flat-arched window openings, with painted patent reveals and painted granite sills, having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows throughout.

Glazed cast-iron rectangular light let into pavement.
Appraisal
This modest but well presented early nineteenth-century building adds to the variety of this busy commercial street, on the eastern edge of the Gardiner Estate. The original pavement light is a good example of a type once common, and forms part of the industrial design heritage of the city.
