It demonstrates the typical characteristicsof a late interwar or early post war small brick commercial garage, being constructed of red brick with a stepped parapeted front, complete with a decorative panel of cream bricks in the centre of the stepped parapet. The facade has a large central garage door with a concrete lintel. On either side of the door are six-paned steel windows, with splayed brick window sills. A corrugated iron shed is located at the rear of the building, and may pre-date the garage. (Criterion D)
