My Commentary:
The first floor fenestration consists of a wood and glass door on the far left that leads to the second floor. There then is a horizontal bay window, then a recessed glass and wood door entry. The far right bay window is in recessed brickwork with landscaping below.
The second floor fenestration has a tall narrow arched double hung window above the entry leading to the second floor. This window has a stone sill and a arched brick lintel. There are four double hung windows above the main store front. The windows on the far right are paired - the ones on the left are two singles. These windows are rectangular with stone sills and lintels. There are two separate sets of decorative dentilated brickwork near the cornice above the main part of the building - the brickwork leading to the second floor is undecorated.
