Appraisal
This imposing structure has historically dominated this end of street, in its era as Sadleir's Bank during the first half of the nineteenth century, and in its incarnation as the Clanwilliam Club from 1866. Its scale and form have been retained although other characteristic fabric such as window and door frames have been replaced.
