Internal structure with cast-iron columns carrying timber beams. 3 storeys, L-plan, the main range a 13-window range facing George Street, with 6 window return to courtyard to south. Windows largely 16-pane with top opening vents, flat-arched stone heads and continuous stone sill bands. Moulded cornice.
