Appraisal
The tall and regular form of this building make it a notable feature on the streetscape. This is accentuated by the decorative doorcase and ornate fanlight, which add artistic interest to the façade. The oriel window adds variety to the form, while the retention of timber sash windows enhances the façade of the structure. The boundary railings and stone steps also enhance the site.
