Form & composition
Form & Composition
Type O is a four-bay facade with a door at each end and two individual windows in the middle. Three windows sit across the second floor, with the outer two aligning over the lower windows.
Because the composition is symmetrical, there is no separate mirror version.

Architectural character
What Makes It Distinctive
Type O reads almost like two small entry compositions joined by a central pair of windows. Its symmetry makes it easy to identify and explains why a mirror type was unnecessary.
