2. A red brick and stone building designed by F G Cotman, an Ipswich architect, in 1889, in a free Jacobean style.

The windows are double-hung sashes without glazing bars, with round headed arches with ornamental hood moulds. There are 2 stone oriel bay windows, one at the West end on the 2nd storey and one rising through the 1st and 2nd storeys. Some of the windows have stone orders and there is an arcaded window range on the 2nd storey. The west end has a balustraded parapet. The dormer windows have "Dutch' gables with ornamental stone scroll work and pinnacles. The ground storey was broken through in 1930 to form Lloyds Avenue and there is a Tuscan arcade with modillion cornice, a wide central traffic opening and flanking semi-circular arched pedestrian openings with engaged eo1ulans, the 1st storey windows above the opening are double-hung sashes with glazing bars, in stone architraves. Roof tiled.
