Brick walls laid in Flemish bond to upper floors. Square-headed window openings having timber sash windows; three-over-six pane to third floor, six-over-six pane to others, rendered reveals and painted sills throughout. Timber shopfront on granite base to south and east elevations of ground floor, comprising timber pilasters supporting timber fascia with dentillated cornice over.

Latticed overlights to door openings.

Ormond Quay was constructed in the late seventeenth century, the first of the quays on the north side of the river. This townhouse, built for secretary to the Privy Council Sir William Doyne, is a particularly noteworthy early survivor from this period. Though the altered in subsequent centuries, the later timber sash windows and timber shopfront provide subtle decorative interest to the façade, the latter enlivened by cornices and unusual latticed glazing. A number of noteworthy persons resided on the quay, including Sir Humphrey Jervis, who reclaimed the land from the estuary of the River Bradogue, c.1675, and subsequently erected the Ormond Market.
