Appraisal
This building was originally erected in 1822 and the malt was built in 1890. Though now renovated for apartments and retail units, this structure was once an industrial complex. The corner building projects typical characteristics of an industrial complex with small timber windows with yellow brick surround, iron tie bars, segmental-headed archways and, in this particular structure, a weather vane to rendered vent. Though greatly altered this complex still retains its original character.
