Appraisal
This imposing building forms part of a row of stone-fronted buildings on this street. Its centrally located doorway and classical proportions distinguish it form many others in the row. The earlier shopfront, now partially hidden, is a significant part of the building's architectural interest. The fine example of an early nineteenth-century classical doorway considerably enhances this structure.
