House was purpose built 1900-02 by the city architect F E P Edwards to the designs of F Wild who died in 1901.
The building is erected on 4-storeys and basement around 3 sides of an open court. Restrained detailing with
elements of the Queen Anne style. Sandstone “brick” with ashlar dressings, ashlar ground floor and vermiculated

Street with pedimented blind attic and ball finials, flanking pilaster strips and pilastered portal with ornate east iron
gates.\"")
