DESCRIPTION
The two storey brick building has a gabled roof which is clad I corrugated iron. The front elevation has a finely proportioned window fenestration consisting of three awning windows evenly spaced on the upper floor. Each of these windows originally had three lights compared with the present three lights. They have simple hood moulds and the whole is recessed to form a frame around the perimeter of the upper floor. Projecting corniced at parapet and verandah height accentuate the horizontal line of the building. The front faced is surmounted by a solid parapet. The lower floor has been extensively altered as can be seen when comparing the 1986 view with the 1883 view. However the verandah shown in the latter view is thought to be an addition to the original facade.
