Flanked by massive pilasters and crowned along its central axis by a heavy pediment, the façade dominates the streetscape. Positioned above the entrance portal is a canted bay window, framed by balconies arranged across three tiers. Plasterwork relief cartouches, garlands, and surrounds for wide windows are utilized in the façade decoration.
