Commercial Street elevation is in three bays. The ground floor has a plinth and strip pilasters frame the bays.

Stone band above, which carries the capitals, with contemporary lettering inscribed between. The pilasters rise into the first floor and flank paired windows with brick mullion and top opening lights; Corinthian type capitals carry a stone entablature. In the centre is an oriel carried on a large decorated corbel and having a two light window, with stone mullion set forward and a stone frame. The second floor repeats the outer windows but without pilasters, while the central window is the Venetian type. Projecting stone modillion cornice, broken in the centre, which rises through to a shaped gable. Plain roof. The canted corner has a doorway (now blocked) with a keyed head and an open segmental pediment. Above this a stone cartouche, then the entablature, the second floor is blind but the cornice carries round.
