Appraisal
This building, purpose-built to accommodate commercial use to ground floor with residential accommodation over, is a distinctive feature of the streetscape of Conduit Lane, identified by its construction in red brick. The building has been very well maintained and retains original salient features and materials, including a timber shopfront of artistic merit. The building forms a group with similar buildings to north-east (22501119, 135/WD-5632-21-119, 141).
