* The moulding in the kitchen is geometrical and shaped like a roset. It is octagonal and consists of a center star, with a rmiddle ring of triangular shapes, surrounded by a ring of leave-shapes. The decoration has neogothical and orientalist connotations.

Shapes similar to this are to be found throughout the building.

* The design of the stone carvings around the year 1866 which can be found above the South entrance looks like a cogged wheel, celebrating late nineteenth century industrialism. A sign of the enthusiasm for the spirit of progress and arriving modernisms.
