The second story is comprised of three bays with pairs of 1/1 double hung sash framed with molded brown terra cotta trim; paneled blind transom spaces. Continuous terra cotta sill. Central window pair slightly different with keystone and a recession between the window pair. Fluted brackets punctuate the bay division at the parapet base.
