Notes
The front elevation has a Corinthian colonnade between the three-bay end ranges. The first and ground floors are rusticated and surmounted by a heavy string course, with the plain second storey above. The end ranges are surmounted by drums capped by (lead) domes, with the drums faced with sculptural Royal coats of arms. A frieze with a Greek key ornament spans the width of the building beneath the first floor windows.
