Appraisal
The simple symmetry of the design and the retention of historical features such as fine shopfront, slate roof and timber sash windows help this building, along with its attached neighbour, make a significant contribution to the streetscape. The porcelain lettering is a particularly interesting feature as it was more commonly used in urban areas and is now increasingly rare.
