Directly above is a wide gable in which there is an attic window. The tympanum is clad in wooden shingles. The shop has an elaborate rendered parapet with the name 'Manifold Emporium' in relief and capped with gloves. The original shopfronts and stained glass in the upper parts of the windows are intact.
