Appraisal
A pleasant small-scale house originally forming part of a larger composition (remainder of composition not included in survey) representing one of a group of three houses (including 15605150) making a pleasing impression in Mary Street. Although no longer in use, the house has historically been well maintained to present an early aspect with most of the historic fabric surviving in place including a traditional shopfront of artistic design interest displaying good quality craftsmanship making a positive contribution to the streetscape character at street level.
