Description
Terraced three-bay four-storey former house with integral carriage arch, built 1877, now in use as amusement arcade and undergoing renovation. Pitched tile roof with rendered chimneystack.

Appraisal
This former house forms part of an interesting group with the adjoining terrace on the east side of North Main Street and with the terrace on the west side of the street. The scale and form of these buildings make a positive contribution to the streetscape. Built on the site of the medieval city, many of these buildings contain archaeological fabric. The building is enhanced by the retention of notable features and materials such as the decorative render detail and timber sash windows.
