Appraisal
Though altered and with some traditional materials replaced, this building retains a particularly noteworthy shopfront. This fine shopfront has lost some of its original fabric, but nonetheless remains an excellent example of the quality of design and craftsmanship employed in the execution of shopfronts in the past. The paired camber-headed openings, render keystones and corbelled eaves course add to the building's character.
