Ground floor has modern plate glass shop windows framed by original stone Tuscan pilasters, centre splayed into entrance to The Corridor, fascia supported by two polished pink granite unfluted Greek Doric columns (originally stone), heavy iron and glass hood over, these are both 1870 alterations. First floor windows are sashes in plain reveals, outer ones have cornice heads on console brackets, centre window with pediment on consoles. Three two/two sashes, two plain.

The polished granite columns at the entrance date from 1870, while the glazed canopy was added in 1927 to the designs of A.J. Taylor See also Nos 1-22 The Corridor (qqv).
