Appraisal
The regular form of these buildings is embellished by fine stucco detailing including moulded window surrounds. The two shopfronts retain many well-executed features and materials, such as the elaborately carved console brackets and cornices, cast-iron gates and tiled thresholds. As such the buildings make a notable and positive contribution to the streetscape.
