But their fine hall was however by the same act given to the barbers,
on which they erected a theatre in the Old Bailey, which is an elegant,
though not an expensive structure. It has a basement story, with square
windows. The principal floor is however raised considerably above
the level of the street, and there is an ascent to it by a double
flight of steps, under which is a door, level with the ground, for
the convenience of bringing in dead bodies executed at Tyburn, for
dissection. The face of this part is Rustic work. At the height of the
steps is a range of Ionic pilasters, within the height of which there
are two series of windows, a row of large ones, with square ones above.
The entablature of the Ionic pilasters supports a plain Attic course,
crowned with vases.
