round headed openings, with stack to right. Eight sashes in moulded
surrounds on 3rd floor, and French windows on 1st and 2nd floors, in

original feature). Three canted bays to ground floor with sash to

part of the redevelopment of Mount Albion House estate, most of which
was undertaken by Edward Welby Pugin(for himself and for Edmund Davis,)who may
have designed this building, although stylistically remote from his
other work here. Originally twice the length, half the building
destroyed 1928. Davis laid out and developed the Granville Marina
below the cliffs. (See Busson, Ramsagte, 107).
