The main facade, towards the tip of the triange, has a large portico with giant Corinthian columns and pediment containing coat of arms. Flanking small pedimented pavilions with arches, and set back high above at both ends a tall Renaissance tower, in the style of sir Christopher Wren, with Corinthian columns at corners and gilded owls as finials.
