Appraisal
Located in a prominent position in the centre of town, the retention of historic material, including sash windows and a timber shopfront add to this building's character. The inclusion of quoins and a string course not only enliven the facade but also accentuate the building's height. The contrasting floor heights distinguish this building in the streetscape.
