Appraisal
The scale and form of this building make a notable and positive contribution to the streetscape. The variety of materials utilised in the construction, such as the red brick, yellow brick and grey limestone, add colour and textural interest to the building. The building retains many original features and materials, such as the timber sash windows, slate roof, ridge crestings and carved limestone details.
