Appraisal
The variety of openings adds interest to the façade, particularly the segmental-headed door and doorcase. The house maintains a similar roofline to the surrounding structures, thus making a positive contribution to street. The size, scale and proportions are typical of urban terraced architecture of its time. The pubfront adds central focus, while decorative interest is added with the shopfront lettering.
