This façade never fails to evoke praise from the best informed. Proportion, mass, real craftsmanship and feeling are assisted by ingenious solutions of practical problems involved in remodeling. The rhythm of the column spacing is unorthodox but extremely interesting and beautiful. The columns themselves are unique, being made of separate boards routed to form the fluting and with beaded, tongued and grooved joints between the fluting. Brick bases and applied cast-iron leaves on the capitals are typical examples of the highly successful ingenuity of the builders, who present a challenge to present-day architects.]

"Graceful liberties with a Greek temple façade" seems sufficient to describe this simple and gracious design.]
