wooden doors and 6/6 windows and transom on the first floor, two sets of paired 6/6 windows
on the second, and an arched parapet with cast concrete coping. Truncated towers rise at each
corner with a single arched 1/1 window on both the first and second story flanked by brick
pilasters with cast concrete ornamentation."
