Pilasters joined by full Doric entablature with metopes and triglyphs to frieze with mutules to soffit of cornice. Frieze breaks over door opening, and timber Gothicised fanlight with limestone archivolt and scroll keystone.
An elaborately carved limestone doorcase, displaying detailing of the Doric order. The quality of which is an indication of the grandeur of the original building to which this doorcase belongs. While the loss of the structure is regrettable the re-insertion of the doorcase is a pleasant feature on the streetscape.
