a cornice-like stringcourse, running the full width between the outermost pilasters, creates a strong horizontal line on the facade to quay street. beneath this is further render modelling and then a line of upper storey windows on either side of a central door. this french door opens onto a small, cantilevered balcony edged with cast iron balustrading. a simple label mould frames the semicircular fanlight atop this door, its ends resting on the tops of pilasters that extend to street level. the arched heads of the two double-hung sash windows on either side of the door are similarly framed. a suspended footpath canopy separates the upper and lower sections of the front facade. in the lower section, the four pilasters sit on an expressed plinth. beneath the balcony is a set of french doors topped with a basket arch-shaped fanlight. on either side of this door are three double-hung sash windows, the heads of which meet the underside of the footpath canopy.
