5 window range, double-hung sashes with glazing bars, in plain reveals, with
stucco cornice lintels to the lower storeys. The windows are separated by
wide brick pilasters. A central stucco Ionic portico projects on front with
2 pairs of plain columns rising through 2 storeys above a balustraded podium
with a central entrance door approached by stone steps. Above the portico
the centre part breaks forward slightly on tile second storey with a brick
open pediment and a central semi-circular headed window. The centre block
is flanked by 2 storeyed wings of similar date, each of one window range,
with parapet, and a stucco cornice which is carried across the front and
around the portico. The wings are framed by pilasters.
