Appraisal
This well-proportioned and attractive building is distinguished by elegant render details and timber sash windows, which subtly enhance the façade. It forms an integral component of a terrace lining the south side of Talbot Street, maintaining the fenestration rhythm and parapet height of its neighbouring buildings and making a positive impression on the streetscape.
