point at front are 20 small sections each of 10 panes with cast-iron glazing
bars. The sides and partition walls have multiple narrow uprights with overlap-
ping panes between. Part-glazed doors. Interior: the main struts of the roof
frame remain and are supported on very slender cast-iron columns. Brick benches
