Low block, polygonal in plan, containing entrance and workshops, surmounted at right-angles to the street by an eight-storey slab. Stripped classical manner. Entrance block treated as symmetrical composition with projecting centre with fluted pilasters in antis. Vertical window to left and right each with projecting metal grill. Five-light window to flanking ranges. Slightly recessed glazed attic storey. Slab recessed behind street facade with moulded vertical window to end elevation. Broad flanks each have panel of vertical strip windows with projecting masonry pilasters, flanked to either side by panels with narrow horizontal windows.

A good example of Cecil Howitt's later work, showing the Modernist idea of the "slab and podium" translated into a classical manner.
