- Construction details: It is a brick masonry structure 2-stories high with slate hipped roof, piano nobile, and an English basement. Seven bays wide by seven bays long, the building footprint is square. The facade composition is bilaterally symmetrical with a central bay flanked by three identical bays. It is carefully proportioned and richly detailed with generous, sensitively conceived limestone detail. The red brick facades are laid up in Flemish bond with prominent white mortar joints. Quoining is simulated at the corners of the front facade. The central bay is denoted by a main entrance door approached from the street by a flight of sandstone stairs. The entrance door is flanked by Doric pilasters which support a frieze and segmental arched pediment. At the second floor the central window has a broad limestone surround and sill. The windows in the flanking bays are differentiated between the first story with circular arched brick lintels and limestone keystones and the second floor with flat limestone lintels. Limestone string-courses at the water table and the foundation tie together the composition. The entire composition is crowned with a pressed metal cornice. (Bloomindaledc.org)
