Two identical north and south facades. The central entry is flanked by fluted columns, which appear to support a barrel-vaulted arch. Above each storefront window is a panel with a heavy, sagging garland around an oval cartouche, symmetrically strung between two lion heads carved in high relief. A similar garland and cartouche motif appears over the entrance archway. Testing on the cornice is a limestone tablet. Atop the tablet is a single carved basket of fruit, overflowing with garlands which spill out of the basket and down the facade.
