Appraisal
Situated on Connaught Street, this attractive structure provides a service for the residence of Birr. The building with its simple, yet decorative shopfront retains a number of notable architectural features which recommend it as one of merit. The Wyatt window comprising a single-pane timber sash with flanking narrow sashes is one such feature. As a result the house makes a positive contribution to Connaught Street.
