Architect John Sim of 160 High Street, Montrose here created an unusual and interesting facade, making use of cement mouldings. These were possibly executed by Burness & Son, whose premises behind 10-14 Murray Street at 19-21 Murray Lane are also finished in intricate mouldings. The interior apparently continues the fine plasterwork decoration.
