The offices pleased us much. They are in the Italian style, of red brick, with stone dressings. The cornice, coins, and decorations of the windows are all excellent, if we except those of the upper range of windows, which are rather too meagre. The bell tower would have been improved by an addition to the height. The central doorway and porches manifest much ability, with some novelty. The architect is Mr Dickson.
