Appraisal
Built as a pair with the adjoining building to the south, these buildings are interesting examples of early twentieth-century design. Of apparent architectural design and detail, this pair make a positive and notable contribution to the streetscape. Though many original features and materials have been replaced, this building retains interesting features such as the terracotta tile cladding, timber corbels, timber bargeboards and red brick walls.
