Appraisal
The large scale and horizontal emphasis of this building make it an imposing feature on Main Street. Its façade is enlivened by features such as the render quoins and window surrounds and more especially by the late nineteenth-century shopfront whose carved consoles and tiled stall risers add artistic interest.
