Shopfront comprising rendered stallriser, timber window surrounds, recessed doorway with timber door. Rendered fascia board with raised metal lettering.
Appraisal
Most notable of all the elements to the front elevation of this terraced structure are the dramatically treated window surrounds. Enclosing timber casement windows with geometric overlights, the fluted pilasters are elaborately ornate. They contrast with the more modest moulded stucco architraves to the three northern bays, breaking the line of the façade, while acting as a reminder that this building was formerly two individual units. The modern shopfront has a jazzy feel, with lettering mirroring the Art Deco style, popular during the early decades of the twentieth century. Overall the exterior is an eclectic mix of styles, and quite unique in character.
