Square-headed openings to upper floors with moulded render architraves and replacement timber sash windows. Replacement timber shopfront, with timber fixed window and timber glazed doors.
Appraisal
This two-bay building and the adjoining three-bay building to the east were formerly a single five-bay building. Though now in separate ownership, this pair of buildings continue to contribute to the streetscape, due to the scale and form of the pair. Though many interesting features and materials have been replaced, this building is enhanced by the render detail to the upper floors, which enlivens and articulates to façade, and was clearly executed by skilled craftsmen.
