Appraisal
This building is an interesting example of a mid-nineteenth house that has been divided in recent years but retains its shared shopfront with the adjoining building to the east. The fine timber shopfront with its tripartite display window and ornate consoles is notable in a streetscape which has unfortunately lost many of its historic shopfronts to historical pastiche.
