Appraisal
An attractive small-scale house of modest appearance and built as a part of a terrace. It retains most of its original form and early character, which is distinguished by the simple and elegant shopfront. Shopfronts such as these are becoming increasingly rare in the urban context, and as such it makes a significant contribution to the historic character of Hospital.
