Five two-story, beveled oriels extend along the facade . Further design elements include a balcony, Ionic columns with a broken segmented arched gable and colossal pilasters . On the right, three curved dormer windows emerge above the protruding cornice . The gable on the left is designed with an aedicula in the apex.
