Render shopfront with square-headed timber-framed display window with render stall riser and recessed glazed timber door with overlight.
Appraisal
This striking building has a roofline in keeping with the rest of the terrace, and its façade is similar in design to its neighbours. This uniformity makes a positive impression on the streetscape. Its timber sliding sash windows and limestone Gibbs door surround are significant features, adding to its decorative interest. The decreasing scale of fenestration is typical of the period.
