Appraisal
This imposing building makes a positive contribution to the streetscape. The fine shopfront is of particular merit, and is one of the few historic shopfront surviving in the town. Its pleasing design and excellent craftsmanship contrasts with some of the recent replacements seen elsewhere in the streetscape.
