Three storeys, one bay, with 9-pane hornless sash on second and 12-pane on first floor and late C19 or early C20 shop front on ground floor.

Single-pane plate glass front window with thin turned shaft to right, and side-pane canted in to recessed doorway to right. Half-glazed door with overlight. Small blank recess in upper right corner of facade. Short return wall to right. Basement light below shopfront.
