The place is of aesthetic significance as a fine and intact example of Inter-War Free Classical commercial building of the 1930's with Art Deco decorative themes incorporated throughout the building. It demonstrates a high quality of architectural retailing and craftsmanship. It is a rare and representative reminder of the 1920's and 1930's in which few commercial buildings were constructed.
A four storied commercial building of monumental proportions. The base is emphasised with large arched openings and the top storey is differentiated from the others. This building features classical columns and a prominent cornice.
