Appraisal
This modest but well-proportioned building is distinguished by the retention of various historic features including elegant red brick detailing, timber sash windows and an aesthetically-pleasing timber shopfront which adds contextual interest to the façade. Talbot Street was laid out following the sale of Tyrone House c.1840.
