The main façade of this three storey building on Triq id-Dejqa was originally symmetrical, but was altered by later interventions. The main central feature consists of a large framed central arzella doorway and a wide closed wooden balcony supported on seven large corbels having scrolls supporting an entablature. Rusticated pilasters define the corners of the façade while bands at first and second floor levels divide the façade horizontally. The windows at the second floor have decorative frame surrounds with projecting sills and a flat cornice above the lintel. The upper part has an extensive area of bare masonry, typical of the earlier buildings of Valletta. The elevation onto Triq il-Karrijiet is simpler, having an open balcony with wrought iron railing and the second floor windows having the same frame surround as those on the main façade.

Mepa scheduled Nos. 160 - 163, Triq id-Dejqa c/w Triq il-Karrijiet as a Grade 1 national monument as per Government Notice No. 276/08 in the Government Gazette dated 28 March 2008.
