Appraisal
The simple elegance of this building is enhanced by the robust, well executed render work including the raised lettering, bracketed cornice and window surrounds. The raised lettering reads: 'Drapers Grocers Outfitters'. The shopfront, spanning the length of the façade, is well designed and together with the upper floor details, forms a distinguishing feature in the streetscape.
