Appraisal
This building is a notable feature in the streetscape due to its architectural detailing, particularly its pediment and pilasters. The red brick walls offer diversity of materials and texture to a street of mainly rendered buildings. It retains notable features, such as the stone plaque and brick cornice. Though the windows and doors have been refitted, the shopfront is an interesting part of the building, and the retention of timber sash windows enhances the facade.
