Appraisal
The ornate façade of this building as well as the unusual arrangement of its openings make it a notable addition to the streetscape. The ornamentation serves to highlight the design of the elevation ad the shopfront is well integrated into the overall façade. The arched opening to the ground floor is an unusual feature and it, together with the shopfront, are probably late additions that add context to the site.
