Notes
The front is generous, '59.10.½' wide. It is plain with six pilaster strips without capitals. The windows have (chamber floor) straight heads and (ground floor) segmental heads to windows that are '8:6" wide. The windows have arched mullions, one and two panes wide for the upper floor and three panes wide for the large ground floor windows. The result is fairly austere and shares some of the qualities of a house designed six months earlier - No. 6 Buchanan Street, Glasgow(q.v.).
