Appraisal
A well-proportioned and robustly-detailed building that retains most of its original form and massing, together with decorative rendered dressings of artistic design merit. However, extensive renovation works have led to the loss of much of the original fabric, and to the erosion of much of the historic character and patina as a consequence. Occupying an important corner site, the building remains an integral component of the streetscape of Main Street, terminating the vista from the south-west.
