Appraisal
This elegant building has distinctive brick walling and discrete but well executed stone details. It contributes to the varied roof lines and facades of the streetscape. It has retained much of its character and original features since at least the early twentieth century as evidenced from historic photographs. The variety of materials, brick, carved stone and cast-iron enhances the visual appearance of this building.
