Tan-Lan

Tan-Lan is a three-storey building constructed in yellow brick with blue brick and painted stone dressings, topped with a slate roof featuring tiled cresting and side wall and axial stacks. The design is symmetrically planned in a double-pile range, with the principal rooms located at the front and service rooms at the rear, separated by an axial stair hall.

The facade includes two window ranges between advanced outer gables, with entrances set back to the sides of these gables, positioned at the angle of a short gabled side wing. The flat-roofed porches are supported by massive scrolled brackets that carry an entablature and blocking course, topped with iron brattishing. A stilted arched window on the side features a blue brick impost band that creates a continuous band across the principal facades.

The outer gables are adorned with two-storey canted bay windows fitted with 2-pane sashes and a moulded cornice. The attic windows are stepped and stilted arched, also featuring blue brick impost bands. A continuous sill band at the first floor links the gable windows with those in the central section, which are set in stepped round-headed arches, with their impost bands forming a continuous moulded band across the facade.

The central range's ground floor showcases rectangular bay windows, divided into tripartite sashes by pilasters and topped with iron brattishing. Additional decorative features include stone quoins on the gables, a dentilled eaves cornice, and ornate pierced bargeboards that form a free-standing braced collar and king post truss for each main gable.
