On the ground floor, there is a sash window on either side of the porch, and on each of the upper floors, there are two sash windows. All windows have glazing bars, with the ground and first-floor windows featuring three rows of four panes, while the second-floor windows have three rows of three panes. These windows are set in openings with painted, flat arched heads and projecting stone sills. The first-floor windows are adorned with decorative, bow-fronted, wrought-iron guards.
