Description

Three photographs.

The first photograph is of the street-level windows, of which there are two. These windows are large and arched, which mimic the high arched entrance to the library. These are the biggest windows in the building. The keystone design above the arch is triplicated, over the other window and the arch over the entrance to the library.

The second photograph is of a second floor window, which has a lot of ornament at the top. Notice the rosettes below the lintel, and the decorative brackets that appear to support the lintel.

The final photograph is of a third floor window. It is above this window and below the inscription that ornamental decoration appears.
