Appraisal
Prominently sited at a junction, this building makes a the most of its corner site with its curved corner and handsome tripartite windows. The building's well executed fenestration, elegant proportions and decorative render facade are in keeping with the terrace to which it forms the termination. It retains historic features such as timber sash windows, lined-and-ruled rendered walls and slightly oversailing eaves which contribute to its character. It is one of three corner-sited buildings at this intersection which address the street with curved or chamfered front elevations and form an interesting piece of historic urban design.
