Appraisal
The fine shopfront, which displays numerous decorative elements including fluted consoles, foliated motifs, masks and panelled pilasters, marks this building out in the streetscape. Well-designed and executed traditional shopfronts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and are often replaced by historic pastiche.
