Appraisal
An appealing, modest building of particular importance as it retains its simple, yet elegant shopfront. The shopfront retains salient timber features, such as the decorative double-leaf door and flanking pilasters. The simple form of the house reflects a subtle design of balanced proportions, which makes a valuable contribution to the streetscape.
