Appraisal
The large scale and form of this building correlates well to the general design principles that have been used throughout the rest of the terrace. Despite some recent alterations, the building retains certain features that are essential to the building's historic character, including the fine moulded doorcase and camber-headed openings, both of which are characteristic of the town.
