Appraisal
Built as one of a pair with its neighbour to the east, this prominent building retains noteworthy well-executed features. These include the decorative and robust window pediments. The retention of a fine render shopfront, which is of similar design to the adjoining building, as well as timber sliding sash windows, maintains the integrity of the façade. The inclusion of heavy classical motifs lends an air of gravity, while the balanced proportions of the shopfront enlivens the façade at street level.
