The building is unique in the use of 'Medieval Caste' style to its single/double storey form. For its time, it was a large development, one of the first in its area on the fringe of Perth's developing suburbs.
Set in formal gardens, the building is a combination of single and double storey, possessing two square towers to its north (street) elevation and a castellated parapet giving it a castle-like appearance. The windows are double hung and on the first floor are a narrow Gothic style. The windows to the ground floor are a mix of arch or part arch with doors being the timber vertical boarded type. The building has extensive stucco work to its parapet frieze, quoins and major openings. The two towers possess small minaret style features at their corners.
The building was constructed in 1914-19 by J Hawkins and Sons to the design of Mr Aleck Cameron. It was originally built for Albany Bell as a store/warehouse/factory to service the chain of 13 tearooms in Perth, Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie.
The building is in very good condition and well maintained.
