I would like to describe the Lloyds bank building on Sidney St, Cambridge, England and am looking for some help with architectural terms. I understand the exterior is in the Dutch Renaissance style with Dutch gables and brick bandings in limestone. Any suggestions on how to describe the clock tower? The interior is very elaborate with cornicing and a domed roof. Does anyone know the name for this type of cornicing? How would you describe the glass which is in sections that look vaguely scalloped? I have described the panels as "coffers". Is this term appropriate? 212.183.140.24 (talk) 20:05, 1 November 2012 (UTC) If you are an expert in this type of architecture, please help. I would love to hear from you.
Yes, that's great. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.87.251 (talk) 10:29, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, there's a handy extra bit about the statue though I'm now uncertain as to whether the clock tower is hexagonal or octagonal as the sources are contradictory. Anybody on the ground there who could have a look?212.183.128.22 (talk) 17:30, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
