storey end block to left. Four storey canted bay to left, each storey
with modillion cornices, the top storey rising above parapet level.
Canted oriel on 2nd Floor to right and 2 storey and basement canted bay
below, and to centre left, all with sashes, and French doors on first
floor with 2 central metal casements on 2nd floor. Tented verandah across
whole first floor, with simple scrolls to piers and Gothick panelled rails.
Two central doors of 6 raised and fielded panels the top 2 glazed, in

Simple rails to basement areas with urn finial principals. Left return

to cornice parapet and stacks to left. Three window bay section to right,

Half-glazed door in moulded surround to centre left, with different storey
levels to right hand section. Half-glazed door in moulded surround to
centre left. The facade treatment of pilaster and cornice runs over the
adjacent number 1 + 3 Royal Road, and is taken from the decorative motifs
of the rest of Royal Road (laid out 1827-36), and disguises the earlier
construction of these buildings, possibly still the 1802 structures built
for James Townley. See Busson 108-9.
