Narrow stucco doorcases with panelled pilasters, frieze and cornice on moulded brackets. Most doors replaced and some now deeply recessed. Curved, scalloped lead canopies above 3-light ground-floor windows with transoms and cast-iron guards. Flat, gauged-brick arches to 1st- and 2nd-floor sash windows with glazing bars, projecting sills with cast-iron anthemion pattern guards to those on 1st-floor centre and end sections.
