Shouldered windows to 1st floor with moulded cavetto reveals, 5 centre
windows to 2nd floor architraved with alternate triangular and
segmental pediments, corbelled cills and cill panels; architraved windows to 3rd and 4th floors, keystoned and round-headed to 4th floor; single aediculed dormer (pediment removed), 2 round-headed leaded dormers to left and right, bipartite pedimented dormer to far left and right; 2-pane timber sash and case frames. Corniced axial stacks.
FRONT ELEVATION: door to ground floor centre, and to right, flanked by shopfronts; 11 windows to 1st floor, 5 windows to 2nd and 3rd floors flanked by 2-storey canted oriels, 9 windows to 4th floor, 7 dormers.

The elevation is similar to Bruce's adjoining building at 35-45 Commercial Street, and pays lip service to James Mackison's 1871 Improvement Act designs such as that at 73-99 Commercial Street, both also listed.
