Simple moulded entrance with dentiled cornice. Above, inscription, 'TELEPHONE EXCHANGE' now part-obscured by Royal Mail sign. Above, window with date '1910' at centre of broken cornice.

Cubie Street itself once carried on farther north, but is now severely truncated with the former exchange the sole remaining structure.
