Partners. Brown brick laid in Flemish bond with dressings of
gauged red brick. Three storeys over basement with dormers in
attic; three-window range. Flat-arched entrance flanked by
fluted pilasters supporting entablature whose dentil cornice
breaks forward over the pilasters; overlight. All windows

of the original; bolection-moulded fireplace in the front
room; the first-floor front room has a white marble fireplace
