The building has an octagonal corner with a broad two-storied balcony veranda carried on most unusual circular brick piers. The ironwork is of a late perforated flat pattern; the balustrade panels are rectangular with a Gothic arch taking up the main space and then four small Gothic arches above it. Each panel ha~ a bottom section which contains the quatrefoils. There upper frieze, but the frieze on the lower level is very deep; each panel a double section of a Gothic three-cusped arch and a circle with a quatrefoil at the base, and the same balustrade iron is repeated at ground level. At the opposite end of the octagon the building comeo:; forward in a gable which contains a blind Gothic arch with a Coat of Arms in it. There are two chimes stacks at the north end which are remarkably refined. The flues rise in a prismatic manner which anticipated the work of Griffin. The building is intact externally and forms part of the important St Patricks Cathedral group of buildings.
