The spandrel is composed of six separate castings. The front and back plates have scrolled ornamentation and recessed panels with fluting. A rosette is bolted onto the center of the plate.

The upper plate has a recessed panel with scaled ornament. The lower plate has a recessed panel with fluting and a rosette is bolted on. There are remnants of paint on the front and sides.
