Appraisal
This substantial structure has a number of the classic elements of urban buildings. These are its substantial shopfront, integral carriage arch giving access to the rear and the decorative emphasis given to its eaves, in this case with the addition of further vertical elements. The fine timber pilasters and consoles provide ground level decorative features.
