One of the few remaining bluestone buildings in Timaru, it is two-storey and rectangular in plan with a shallow hipped roof. Recent unobtrusive additions have been made to the rear of the building. The original portion of the building is presently used for storage by government departments.
Representative of South Canterbury's separate identity and growth as an independent region, the Gladstone Board of Works building is of very great local historical significance.
