Description

Five photographs.

The first, second and third photographs are of the main staircase from the first to the second floor. The dark stone used in the main stairs up to the landing are etched with what appears to be leaves of different trees. The two staircases leading from the landing to the second floor only have the Greek key design on the edges of the steps.

The fourth and fifth photos are of the staircase from the second to the third floor. This staircase is not as ornate, with the Greek key decorating the stairs up to the landing and on up to the third floor.
