Full Description

The N. and S. corners of the facade have French quoins of painted plaster; between these each storey has three sashed windows, the central windows being set in a slightly projecting bay which is further accentuated by finely coursed red brickwork in contrast to the blue headers of the lateral bays. The facade is crowned by a modillion cornice which breaks forward at the central bay and is capped by a pediment. <1>
