Like many buildings of its type, it was meant only as a temporary structure, being constructed of brick and timber with a weather protecting cover of roofing felt over the roof and sloping walls. It bears similarities to the prefabricated bungalows ('prefabs') built for returning servicemen after the war, many of which lasted well into the new millennium. This structure too has lasted remarkably well, and is still perfectly habitable.
