Originally built in the mid-19th century and converted into its present form, it includes commercial office units on the ground floor, with apartments on the remaining upper levels. The new build is of steel frame infilled with concrete block and the roofs are flat and made of composite steel. The top floor is an addition and built to modern construction standards.
