A narrow brass and glass channel running down a marble lobby wall, a single envelope caught in mid-fall behind the glass, a hopper with a hinged brass mouth at shoulder height, a plain engraved brass plate above it, the channel descending to a brass letter box at floor level, a tall window on the left throwing daylight across the marble and brass, gas pendants with etched glass globes along the lobby ceiling, a plain reception desk and a brass-railed stair beyond, the lobby running back into shadow with dark unlit figures at its far end.
