Appraisal
The scale and form of this building make a notable and positive addition to the streetscape. Though now greatly altered to the ground floor, the upper levels of the building remain of architectural heritage significance due to the retention of interesting features and materials. The façade of the building is articulated and enhanced by the elaborate decorative render detail, which was clearly executed by skilled craftsmen. This building forms part of an imposing terrace with the adjoining buildings to the east.
