Flanking the central opening are two three-lancet windows, with a taller central lancet window in between, all featuring diamond-shaped piercings. On either side of the barn, there are small pillars also topped with ball finials. At the rear, there is a large opening with a brick arch and brick diamond-shaped ventilation holes.
