The building is a modern derivation of the Tudor style. It possesses an arcaded corbel table at the parapet, tall grouped chimney stacks on a common shaft, two symmetrically placed oriel windows; and grouped windows, utilising the pointed arch. The side elevations are gabled, with deep central recesses atop, allowing expression of the two chimney shafts. Behind this gabled bay, the major part of the building has a longitudinal gable. The use of red terracotta and brick, and the austere adaptation of the style, provides the Modern aspect to the building. The unusual aspects of Victoria House are its simplicity and severity of execution; its early use-type and the urban nature of its design, with no front or rear garden, and its frontage, hard on the street alignment. There is no similar building on the State Register. [City of Melbourne i-Heritage database]
