Cust 1929, p. 17: "Above the doorway runs a classical cornice, a relic of the Byzantine buildings. This is reached from the windows of the Armenian Chapel of St. John, and this Community has the use thereof on the occasion of the festival ceremonies that take place in the Courtyard.[...] [The cornice is] in a damaged condition and the whole facade is badly weather-beaten and requires expert attention."
