It was purpose built as a billiard saloon in the mid-1890s adjacent to the Victoria Hotel. The builder was H. Davey and the building originally comprised two shops with the saloon at the rear. It is of brick construction with corrugated iron roof gable roof. The front façade is rendered with a decorative parapet with finials, columns and pilasters.[1] In the 1930s the premises was used as a betting shop.
