Appraisal
The scale and form of this building makes it a notable and positive addition to the streetscape. This house retains a fine early twentieth century shopfront, which is a significant contributor to the streetscape. This shopfront retains many well executed features and materials, such as the slender colonnettes with carved capitals, fixed windows, glazed doors and threshold mosaics. The segmental-arched moulded door opening and timber sash windows contribute to the architectural heritage significance of the building.
