The buttresses have moulded tops and cusped pointed inset panels. 2 windows per floor with 4-centred traceried heads inside square-headed openings. Rectangular hood-moulds over. Sashes with Gothic glazing bars intact to first-floor. Ground-floor windows filled with plate-glass, bottom halves cut away for 2 large garage doors below.
