Gable fronted building with decorative moulding and arched windows and doorway. Date "1920" and words "THE (two words deleted) CITADEL" in moulding on facade. Painted brickwork at front, red brick east side, rendered west side, buttresses at sides. Small weatherboard extension at rear, probably original, in poor condition. Timber floor. Timber ceiling with tie rods and circular, latticed ventilation. Intricately carved woodwork at bases of ceiling beams. Corrugated metal roof.
