Ground floors have two elaborate doorcases to ground floors on each elevation, those nearest to corner with flat hood on brackets and those furthest away from corner having doorcases with eared architraves, keystones and swag decoration. Ground floor shopfronts have original fascias, pilasters and brackets and some shopfronts are original. INTERIOR: King Edward Hall retains its original plastered ribbed ceiling, high relief plasterwork with scroll, shell and palm frond motifs to surrounding frieze.

Well staircases with cast iron balusatrading and period-style doors. HISTORY: King Edward Hall was built as a private banqueting hall. It was used as a temporary hospital in the First World War.
