The scene includes several men standing near the entrance, bicycles, a weighing machine and tall white-painted posts through which wires are threaded. The building is constructed in the typical style of colonial Perth in decorated bricks and rendered facings. It has a high, steeply sloping roof with dormer windows, projecting pilasters and some Victorian classical ornament around the higher windows. The Treasury was built in two stages.
