5-story consulate building completed in 1946. It is clad in limestone and set back from the building line, except for two protruding end bays at the ground floor, which both contain entrances - the main entrance at the west and a service entrance at the east. Between them is a low limestone wall topped by a wrought-iron fence, with a break in the center for a gate. This leads into a small courtyard. Both of the sidewalls has a round window, and the rear wall is rusticated, with four bays - the inner two have doorways and the outer two have large windows. A dentiled band course caps this center section of the ground floor.

The upper floors have very slightly-projecting end bays with single-windows. The four center bays have tall windows on the 2nd floor, with low wrought-iron railings at the bottoms, and round-arches at the tops. The three top floors have regular square-headed windows with continuous stone sills across the middle section. A flagpole projects from the center of the top of the 3rd floor. At the 5th floor the middle section is capped by a band with a row of triglyphs, above which the parapet is decorated by four circles and capped by a stone coping.
