The glass door, sidelights, and transom are flanked by brick pilasters and covered by a short, black canopy. On the ground floor there is a narrow double-window and a wide double-window to the west, and a narrow double-window flanked by wide double-windows to the east, all with stone sills and iron grilles. A grey metal service door is tucked into the far east end.

The upper floors have a bay of paired windows at the west end, followed by two bays of single-windows, another bay of paired windows, and three single-windows at the east. All the windows have simple stone sills, and brick lintel courses run across the tops of the windows at each floor.
