The main entrance is in the center bay on 78th Street. It contains a double-story portico flanked by vertical pilasters with quoins. The entrance is recessed within the portico and is flanked by Doric-style columns on the ground floor. It is accessed by a short flight of steps with a balustrade that contains low relief panels. Inside the opening is a set of double doors in a round-arched opening, with stone bas-reliefs in the spandrels at the top corners. The keystone above the door has a console bracket with a relief depicting a woman's head. At the second story is a balcony with an iron railing and Ionic-style columns. There is a French window behind the balcony, topped by a carved swag and a panel with a swag and ribbons. The top of the portico contains a triangular pediment supported by corbels, within which is a tympanum containing carved figures.
