這座英國式的建築，設計者為英國人，使用尺寸皆為英碼及英呎。四周的外牆有連續的半圓拱，轉角處的栱較小而牆柱較大，是力學上的強固作用。建築物內設壁爐，並有地下室。整體外觀為連續的半圓栱，使得造型非常富有節奏感。領事館的紅磚從廈門運來，工匠聘自大陸，迴廊的圓栱在夕陽下被映照得更顯古意盎然。竹節狀的落水管是清末洋樓的特色，轉角的磚柱為雙柱並立，構造更為穩固。 4 D' G. E" `' d& y& k5.39.217.76: s0 F5 W- a1 z! \, e. R
1986年始經考證研究修復，現在內部闢為高雄史蹟文物館，陳列有關打狗開拓及近代史之文獻、照片及模型。遊客至此，除可參觀館內豐富收藏外，館外可西眺大海的點點船影，東望市區及港口，南側有曲折保持完好的古道，處處展現迷人的風采。
