 design round arched portals with double columns, supporting an entablature which carries 

 a balustrade, forming the central balcony. The detail here is very beautiful and in brilliant

 side and a projecting bay on the front. The arches are plainly cut, without moldings, but 

 have large carved keystones and festooned spandrels. The walls are trellised in formal patterns 

 with large upper ovals, and the windows have elaborately designed fanlights in the arches
