It is a two-story brick masonry building, with exterior coated with smooth cement stucco and painted. It has full-height engaged Doric columns with capitals which support a classic cornice, which was once surmounted by a balustrade, behind which was the hipped roof. Its interior has Ionic pilasters.[2]
The property is enclosed by "a fine iron fence and gates".[2]
In 2011 it was serving as a police sub-station with a tourist information desk.
