Appraisal
An imposing building which makes a notable contribution to the streetscape. Italianate embellishments, such as the heavy cornice, rusticated quoins and window pediments enliven the façade. The handsome shopfront is an excellent example of the high quality craftsmanship and design which was employed at commercial premises in the past.
