Appraisal
The scale and form of this building is in keeping with the fine historic terrace of which it is an integral part. The excellent shopfront is particularly notable, and its form is repeated in the adjoining building to the east, making a handsome pair. This shopfront demonstrates high quality skill and design, seen particularly in the fine consoles and carved pilasters. The lined-and-ruled render and oversailing eaves of the upper floors add to the traditional character of both the building and streetscape.
