Square-headed window openings in bipartite arrangement with rendered sills and surrounds having stepped keystones. 4/4 timber sash windows.

Appraisal
This house is an attractive composition distinguished in the streetscape by the bipartite arrangement to the window openings. Renovated in the late twentieth century, the house retains most of its original form to the upper floors, together with important early or original salient features and materials, although the entire composition is dominated by an inappropriate replacement pubfront. The house forms an integral component of the streetscape of Merchant's Quay and contributes to the varied roofline of the street.
