Appraisal
This building occupies an important corner site, and hence contributes to the streetscape of both Liberty Square and Parnell Street with its imposing form and scale. The crenellated entrance porch provides interest, as do the rusticated quoins. The windows have label-mouldings with finely realized label stops, which complement those of its neighbour to the west.
