Stock brick, with a system of internal iron roof trusses surviving internally. Rectangular composition to front, extended to rear when the horses gave way to a boiler house and a chimney added in 1929-30. Regular 16-bay, three-storey facade to Brick Lane, each bay having one round-arched metal casement and one round window in arcade surround linked by ground-floor plinth and second floor band at impost level. Heavy cornice and frieze leads eye to central aediculed pediment with black eagle which gave the brewery its traditional name. Return elevation to Buxton Street with metal casements in arcaded surrounds, some renewed brick heads. The interior partially retains a fireproof iron floor construction, most complete at the southern end. Sources: Survey of London, vol.XXVII, 1957 Civil Engineer and Architects' Journal, December 1837
