This much-loved Alexander Thomson building stands on a corner site, an unusual treat, which he indulged by spreading his designs round the corner into Scott Street. It's quite a squat three-storey building and both Egyptian and Greek ideas are carefully considered in the overall plan. The tall ground floor has a Greek entrance; above it are narrow windows, topped with flower decoration. The second storey has a selection of stumpy columns with lots of detail; behind that there is what can only be described as a kind of wall of windows. The building was designed in 1865 for commercial use, which continues to be its purpose today.
