shallow bay to the basement, ground and first floors. The
ground-floor has a pair of round-arched windows with heads of
alternating red and yellow brick under a moulding of embattled
billets, linked by an impost band of flora and fauna; the
first floor has three windows set in a round-arched stucco
arcade of panelled pilasters, foliage capitals and unmoulded
archivolt with pointed extrados; first-floor balcony corbelled
