Notes
Of two storeys with attic and basement, the seven-bay front has a pediment supported by six giant Ionic columns. The end bays are each enclosed by a pair of pilasters and the ground floor has banded rustication. A dozen Classical bosses punctuate the architrave and the blind-arched head of of two windows. The design shares with [14] the same somewhat overworked character. The part-plan for the front elevation can be seen on the following drawing [2].
