roof. 3 slender Gothic buttresses, with one offset each, divide the front.
The buttresses have moulded tops and cusped pointed inset panels. 2

openings. Rectangular hood-moulds over. Sashes with Gothic glazing bars
intact to first-floor. Ground-floor windows filled with plate-glass,
bottom halves cut away for 2 large garage doors below. External wooden
stair to east side where the exposed broken masonry of the demolished
parts of the house still remains.
