four pilasters carrying frieze concealed by C20 fascias. Far right further pair
glazed doors and overlight. Upper floor has two 3-light arched plate glass
windows with dividing colonnettes to cill on heavy brackets, arches with projec-
ting keystones, central blank panel with sunk surround; 4 columns carry moulded
