Central section articulated by 3 tall fluted pilasters (flanking windows) which rise through both floors and have ammonite capitals (a motif popularized by Amon Wilds in Brighton and now very rare in London) supporting segmental arches over 1st-floor windows. 1st-floor windows are segmental-headed in plain reveals.
