Appraisal
This structure forms a large and imposing block on the streetscape, the two sections are unified by a similar decorative scheme and symmetrical openings. The cornice, quoins and window surrounds articulate the regular façade and add variety to the streetscape. The pub front to the ground floor, with its channelled rendered walls, adds textural variety to the streetscape. The timber sash windows and hinged door to the side elevation are interesting features.
