The façade was asymmetric and had no moulding. It contained two main doorways, but there were other entrances in Strait Street. The exterior was plain, contrasting with other Valletta buildings, however this was typical when built. Though the exterior may not have had any aesthetically pleasing features, the interior was spacious and adequate for its purpose. Similar to other prominent buildings, the bakery was provided with water from the Wignacourt Aqueduct. The building did not suffer damage during the 1693 Sicily earthquake though, as documented, the surrounding buildings did.
