stucco, roof of artificial slate. Some seven storeys of

off-centre hexastyle portico with stuccoed Ionic columns,
plain entablature, and pediment. To the left of the portico, a
tower with flat-arched entrance at the base with eared
architrave and cornice on consoles; a cornice runs across the
tower from the portico, and above it there is a circular
window, now with no dressings, flanked by piers; then the open

the corners, entablature, coped parapet and antefixae. To the
right of the portico is an answering bay altered on the ground
