Appraisal
This building has been extensively renovated and remodelled in the late twentieth century leading to the loss of most of the original fabric, although the original form is retained to the first floor. The replacement timber shopfront to ground floor is not an attractive addition to the composition, failing to take into consideration the simple arrangement of openings to the first floor – future renovation works might aim to install a more sympathetic traditional shopfront. The building is primarily of importance for its contribution to the streetscape of Main Street, continuing the established streetline of the planned street, while contributing to the regular roofline of the terrace.
