"A Victorian Free Classical style building of stuccoed brickwork with three two storey arcaded and balustraded facades (one now obscured) of well proportioned elements. The clock tower has an unusual open cupola housing the bell which strikes the hours. The cupola is of cast cement concrete, a structural innovation. An elegant spiral stair leads from the arcade at first floor level to the clock mechanism." (visit link)
