According to the Dutch National Monument:
"STOCK MARKET. Detached building on three sides, covered by a slate hipped roof and surmounted by a hexagonal domed turret. The architecture shows the characteristics of early 17th century architecture: stone cross windows, natural stone cross bands, corner blocks and water moldings. Frieze with carved heads and ornamental masonry. The ground floor, which originally featured an open exhibition gallery, was later bricked up and since then repeatedly modified through restorations. Now adapted hotel front. Behind the Beurs an unnumbered extension; basement building with stepped gable, renovated in 1934. Cross frames, anchors, relief arches."
