Appraisal
The scale and form of this building makes a notable and positive addition to the streetscape. The double-height space of the first floor and the pointed arched openings are notable features of the building. The retention of the timber windows and the remains of the nineteenth-century shopfronts contribute to architectural heritage significance of the building.
