surviving internally. Rectangular composition to front, extended to rear when the horses gave

Regular 16-bay, three-storey facade to Brick Lane, each bay having one round-arched metal
casement and one round window in arcade surround linked by ground-floor plinth and second
floor band at impost level. Heavy cornice and frieze leads eye to central aediculed pediment

Street with metal casements in arcaded surrounds, some renewed brick heads. The interior
partially retains a fireproof iron floor construction, most complete at the southern end.
