A monogram with the carving "RG, EC" and its year of construction is located above the entrance to the close. These initials refer to Robert Graham and Elspeth Cunningham, for whom the building is named.[1]

The building is three storeys and an attic.[1]

In 2016, a project that renovated the property won the biennial Perth Civic Trust Award.[4][3]
