ranges 4-6 are taken up almost completely by shop windows.
There are many sashes of original design to the upper floors:
6 x 6 to second floor and 3 x 3 to third or attic floor. The
sashes in the 4th- and 6th-window ranges are curved along with
the front wall of the building. A camber-arched basement
window to either side of shop entrance, with 6 x 6 sliding
sashed of original design. First-floor windows in the third
and 7th range are blocked; second-floor windows in the third
and fifth range are also blocked. There is a storey band
between the second and third floors. Entablature with
