| He stood up, crowbar in hand, and inserted the chisel blade of the implement between the edge of the door and the doorcase. |
| There he tilted his hatbrim to give shade to his eyes and leaned against the doorcase, looking idly out. |
| The classical doorcase with columns gradually gave way to a bold entrance embellished by carved scrolls. |
| The doorcase on the front towards Guildhall is of stone, adorned with two columns, entablature, and pediment of the Doric order. |
