Appraisal
This modest house has been enlivened by the attractive late-nineteenth-century pub front. The timber pub front reveals the skill of the craftsmen of the period, for example the finely carved and elaborate console brackets and the leaded overlights of the display windows, which all add to the architectural and artistic quality of the structure.
