Appraisal
An appealing, well-composed building, probably originally built as two separate houses, which retains most of its original form, and some of the early character. The building is distinguished by a fine pubfront and shopfront, which are of considerable artistic interest, and by the rendered dressings throughout, which enhance the design quality of the composition. However, the replacement fittings, while alluding to historic models, are fashioned from inappropriate modern materials, and detract from the historic quality of the site. The house forms an important element of the street scene, contributing to the visual appeal of Main Street, while following the topography of the sloping site through the varying pitches of the roofs.
