Appraisal
In common with many houses in the city, the ground floor of this house was altered to accommodate a commercial use. This combined residential and commercial use was once characteristic of urban areas, but is now increasingly rare. The simple shopfront, with its pilasters flanking the openings and round-headed tripartite windows, is an interesting reminder of the scale and form of traditional shopfronts. The upper floor timber sliding sash windows are emphasised by the moulded render detail.
