Appraisal
This early twentieth-century Art Deco building is an interesting addition to the predominantly eighteenth- and nineteenth-century streetscape. The building is of apparent architectural design and detail, with the strong vertical and horizontal lines created by the incised banding, recessed panels and veritcal piers. The steel windows and chevron patterned sill guards are interesting original features.
