Of the numerous and varied examples
of domestic architecture its necessary
to mention only a few. The two storied
colonnades which form the façades of some
of the houses are of interesting design -
That of a house just east of the West church
has 2 stories of rectangular piers with
moulded caps - moulded architraves
and an ornamental moulding above
the upper architrave which turns
downward at the ends.
Another colonnade has ordinary monolithic
piers of rectangular section with capitals
in which an attempt was made to
represent the Ionic and Corinthian orders alternately.
A small house S.E. of the W. Church is
a type for city residences. It is quite
narrow - not over 25ft. in width - the ground
story presents a sort of portico ^ of two ^ columns
between the projecting walls of the house
which turn an angle on either side.
