Appraisal
Located on a corner site, this building occupies a prominent location in the urban landscape. The scale and form of this former house make a positive and notable addition to the streetscape. The building retains many interesting features and materials, such as the moulded render detail, timber sash windows, slate roof and some interior features. The shopfront is a particularly notable feature of the building, as it is well designed and well executed and contrasts with the late twentieth-century shopfronts in the streetscape.
