On the ground floor, there were two centrally-placed doorways, giving access to the two residential units, both flanked by pilasters supporting entablatures decorated with triglyphs and surmounted by cornices.

He removed the theatre fittings and demolished the internal walls to create one large room for corn merchants to conduct their trade.
