cast-iron Doric columns topped with urns, and cornice with
breaks. East end wall, rendered, with a window in a
round-arched recess under a pediment. North end similar, with
cast-iron double doors and parapet.
INTERIOR is divided by paths flanked by slender cast-iron

segmental vaults. The remainder of the roof is hipped. At the
