keystones to windows on first floor. Plain moulded architraves to 2nd floor
windows but with brackets below sills and aprons above. Moulded stone cornice
with plain course above. Band below first floor windows has been breached by
the lengthening of the 2 windows to the right-hand section and the aprons above

refacing. One segmental headed dormer with 2-light casement, 12-pane sashes to

breaking into a pulvinated frieze, a pediment above and 2 bolection moulded panels
