Flat-arched entrance in eastern bay on Western Road with glazed tympanum, and inner and outer double panelled doors of original design; north window in Little Preston Street blind; flat-arched windows in south bay with keystones; all windows have original metal glazing; entablature with dentil and mutule cornice; balustraded parapet.
