Appraisal
An interesting building which forms part of a historic terrace in the town's main commercial street. Its steeply pitched roof and small scale façade provide an interesting contrast with the larger scale surrounding buildings. One of a pair of similarly sized buildings, it retained historic features including diminishing sash windows and a fine timber shopfront with expansive windows, pilasters and simple detailing.
