Designed by architects Thomas Collcutt and Stanley Hamp, the building features an ornate façade adorned with intricate sculptures by Richard Garbe and Frank Lynn Jenkins, including representations of Abundance and Mercury. Visitors can admire the elaborate corner doorway canopy, which showcases reclining figures and cherubs, as well as a striking relief of Pegasus.
