Timber shopfront, c. 1880, comprising pilasters flanking openings with fascia and cornice above.
Appraisal
This pair of mid eighteenth-century houses is a significant contributor to the architectural heritage of the city, and is a notable addition in this predominantly nineteenth-century streetscape, as this pair retains much of the original form and the distinctive steeply pitched eighteenth-century roofs. This building retains a fine late nineteenth-century shopfront which is an interesting feature. Simple well executed shopfronts such as this one are becoming increasingly rare in the urban landscape and are frequently threatened by modern replacement.
