| Built in 1872, reflective of the Renaissance Revival style.

The facade had a six window section to the north, then a central single window bay with a first level carriage way through to the rear of the lot, and a seven window southern section. The three-part division was expressed by two large brick pilasters running through the second and third storey. Heavy string courses of stone across the facade at each ceiling level gave horizontal articulation. |
