Yes, I think this is why they mention 4 floors.
Keith Hall also originally had a mansard roof and it is in the process of being restored. Many buildings in Halifax have been stripped of their ornamentation over the years. One big example I can think of is the former post office, now AGNS, which used to have a cupola. The courthouse on Spring Garden had a cupola too.
