Appraisal
This well composed and ornate building presents a striking façade to the streetscape. The simple tripartite form of the shopfront remains mostly intact, reflecting simplicity of design and skilled craftsmanship in its execution. The main entrance conversely is highly ornate, providing artistic interest to the modest façade.
