This building was constructed soon after Cannon Street had been widened in 1893. Commercial ground floor retains many, possibly original, shop front details including the timber pilasters over the party walls, the console at the top of the pilasters, fascia over the windows and door, stall risers and the timber window frames, all of which are painted a yellowish-cream colour. The door is centrally placed, giving a symmetrical appearance to the ground floor and is set back from the street slightly within a recessed porch. The first to third floors are exposed red brick with stone (sandstone?) detailing. At the first-floor level there is a single, centrally placed, rounded oriel bay window. There are flag pole brackets on either side of this window at approx. half first floor height. The second and third floor both have two equally spaced sash windows, aligning across the floors. There are several decorative architectural details in stone across the facade, including multiple stone string courses. The string courses form a continuous window sill at second and third floor level and there are three further string courses at the top of each of the floors. The upper most of these string courses, over the third floor, incorporates the window headers with keystones which also form the base of two pilasters that continue into a gable above. Over the third floor is a highly decorative, brick and stone, Dutch style gable end with an elaborate triangular stone finial at its top. The two pilasters that rise from the keystones over the third floor windows continue to the top of this gable with spherical finials over the stone coping. A third stone pilaster runs centrally on the façade from the top of the gable to the stone sill at the second floor level. There are also stone pilasters over each of the party walls, running from the top of the ground floor up to the base of the gable, where they also have spherical stone finials on top of the coping. Some of the stone and brick work is slightly stained and weathered, particularly at the higher levels. Despite this the building is in good condition and retains a number of very high-quality and attractive original features.

The ground floor retains many of its original shop front details including the timber window frames. The central door is possibly original. It is set back from the street and is mostly glazed with the base of the glazed section aligning with the top of the stall risers. There is a square window over a transom above this door. The windows on either side of the door are set at an angle to accommodate for the recessed porch area, while the two large windows are flush with the street. All are split into two large panes, a tall lower pane and a shorter upper, with the transom aligning with the top of the door level. All of the frames are painted in the same colour as the rest of the shop front detailing (yellowish cream). At the first-floor level there is a single centrally placed oriel bay window, with rounded corners and original timber framed sashes. The central flat portion has three, two pane sashes divided by timber mullions, while the rounded corner sashes are two panes each. The second and third floor windows consists of two, four pane sashes with timber glazing bars on each floor, there are a number of decorative stone details on the window surrounds (described above). All the glass and timber frames are in a good condition, though the paintwork is chipped and dirty in places, and are likely original.

Slate gable roof with gable end facing the street. Not clearly seen. Tall brick stack over the northern party wall, possibly shared with No. 18 next door. (1)
