Appraisal
A well-proportioned, modest-scale house that retains much of its original form and massing, together with some of the early fabric, and which is distinguished by the fine timber shopfronts of artistic design quality, together with features including the box oriel window that introduces a Tudor-style motif that augments the architectural value of the composition. Occupying a prominent corner site, the house forms an important element of the street scene of Main Street.
