A sentimental reformer in architecture, he began at the cornice, not at the foundation.
Between the pediment and the cornice a thick corded moulding is carried round the main building.
The top section had a small cornice which was easily negotiated.
The interior arrangement of wall columns, horizontal beams and cornice bracketing corresponds with that on the outside.
Above these ties are the cornice brackets and beams, corresponding in general design to the cornice of the walls, and the intermediate space is filled with open carvings of dragons or other characteristic designs.
