The structure, which is currently used as the headquarters of North Kesteven District Council, is a Grade II listed building.

[2] The terrace was designed by the local firm of architects, Kirk and Parry, in the Italianate style, built in coursed stone with ashlar dressings and was completed in 1856.

The central block of five bays featured a portico formed by Doric order columns supporting arches with keystones and an entablature.
