The facade is dramatic and sculptural with ionic pilasters and a heavy entablature and balustrade. The frieze of the Doric entablature is divided into triglyphs and metopes. The entrance is doric columned and pedimented with triglyph entablature. The doorway has a broken arched pediment, full entablature, and engaged columns. The hipped roof rests on an entablature containing dentil moldings. The walls are topped by a pressed-tin entablature composed of a frieze and cornice. In the front is a wide Doric portico with a Greek entablature above. The top of the triglyphs meet the protrusion of the cornice from the entablature. The architrave of the entablature commonly consists of three stepped bands ("fasciae"). The porch has heavy entablature and Doric piers. At the top of the colonnade is a carved entablature. The building has a brick parapet that juts out above its entablature. A long sequence of columns joined by an entablature is known as a colonnade. In the pure classical Doric order entablature is simple. Monumental Corinthian columns support an elegant entablature that circles the space.
