Appraisal
This building occupies a prominent site ending the terrace on the southern end of Bridge street. Its tall form is suited to such a site and is emphasized by the diminishing windows, features characteristic of buildings of this era. The doorcase is well executed and provides a central focal point for the structure as well as adding artistic interest to the façade. The setting is enhanced by the boundary railings.
