Appraisal
This is an interesting and attractive shop premises which exploits its recessed situation to best effect by creating an angled shopfront which is now a feature of this part of Grattan Street. With its neighbour, it presents a handsome ensemble and an eye-catching focal point at this narrow section of Grattan Street.
