Timber shopfront to the north end of the main façade with square-headed window and door openings having plate glass windows and glazed timber doors (with overlight) and with timber pilasters to either end supporting timber fascia over with moulded timber cornice.

Appraisal
A prominently-sited early nineteenth-century building, which retains some of its early character. This building has been renovated recently with the subsequent loss of much of its early fabric and details, however, it retains its balanced form and symmetrical fenestration arrangement. The simple traditional timber shopfront to the east end of the main façade is an interesting feature that adds incident to the streetscape.
