The handsomely proportioned, yet flat facade is made entirely of brick and is skirted by a beautifully worked bluestone plinth. The most striking feature of all is the middle section with it's two horizontal windows, which adorn the top of the door. These windows are surrounded by a decoration of wooden curls and ornamental leaf, which have been entirely hand-carved and hand-painted. This ornamentation is continued in the coved consoles and elegantly adorns the entire facade. This can also be said of the graceful bay window, which extends out from the house at the left of the door. Both the door and the bottommost windows have arched lintels. Glass rods were employed on all of the windows so that each one has been divided into smaller panes of glass. The roof is adorned by two magnificent chimneys.

Originally this building was a private residence. At the end of the 19th century it became a post office. It was subsequently home to the local police station.
