through a panelled arch to the staircase, with
turned-on-square balusters, Doric newels, and scrolled open
string. The stair rises through both floors; at the first
floor landing is a further arch as below, and a modillion
cornice. There are various original 6-panel doors, and one
first-floor room has a white marble fireplace. The basement
has broad segmental brick vaults, and there is a 2-light flush
stone-mullioned casement in the rear wall.

with plain door and then square ashlar gate piers with wooden
gates, both walls important in the streetscape at this very
important corner site in the city.
