Appraisal
A well-proportioned building, originally built as part of a larger hotel with the building immediately to north-west (22810065/WD-21-10-65), which retains most of its original form and fabric. The building is distinguished by the fine rendered detailing throughout, which enhances the design quality of the composition. Together with the remainder of the original structure, the building forms an important component of the streetscape of Main Street.
