Corner-sited terraced six-bay four-storey commercial building, built c. 1880, now in use as retail outlet. Hipped tile roof with rendered chimneystack and eaves corbels. Rendered walls with incised render detail to first floor and second floor openings. Round-headed openings to third floor, and square-headed openings to first and second floors, having timber sash windows. Replacement timber shopfront, c. 1998, to ground floor.
The building makes a notable and positive addition to the streetscape due to the scale and form of the building. The building is of apparent architectural design, and is articulated and enhanced by the round-headed windows openings, eaves corbels, incised render details and timber sash windows.
