The building has an ornate neo-classical design with eighteen windows, four doors and wooden balconies over the main entrance. A door and a set of steps can be seen to the right-hand side of the image. Two figures with their backs to the camera are near an open door at the top of the steps. Three lampposts are in front of the building, on either side of the road, which is clear of pedestrians and traffic.
