Appraisal
A substantial mid-Victorian building which retains much of its historic fabric, including its sash windows and decorative surrounds. The overall façade composition remains intact and conforms to an earlier building typology of graduated window openings and carriage arch below, which greatly enhances this important section of streetscape. It is a important component in the urban fabric of Main Street and adds to the special character of the historic town core.
