Generated explanation

The illustration shows two paneled entrance doors with different glazing and architectural trim arrangements, each approached by steps. The left entrance has a semicircular fanlight with radial glazing bars above the door and narrow, divided sidelights on both sides. The right entrance has a rectangular, divided transom light above the door and a triangular pediment crowning the surround. Pilasters flank the entrances, with prominent fluting on the right example. The drawing identifies architectural features rather than depicting installation defects.
