A corner-sited building in a simple Modernist style, with heavy geometric window surrounds and parapet wall. The building has a noticeable architectural presence, in sharp contrast with the surrounding architectural grain on a street otherwise dominated by late nineteenth-century domestic terraces. The canted end, distinguished by prominent geometric features, serves to highlight the shop entrance and provides an emphatic focal point above the wraparound shopfront. The suburban Modernist design is similar to the Garda station on Griffith Avenue nearby.
