Appraisal
The large scale and regular form of this building make it an imposing feature on the narrow streetscape. The doorcase provides a decorative focus and is enhanced by the limestone steps. The cast-iron boundary railings and the shared carriage arch add context to the site and are well executed with artistic emphasis.
