Appraisal
This attractive former town house is an integral part of a long terrace of commercial and residential buildings located in the centre of Newcastle West. Its well executed timber shopfront complements the historic character of this fine building with original red brick window surrounds creating a pleasing contrast against the limestone fabric of the building. A fine elliptical doorway draws further attention to this pleasing building and distinguishes it form its neighbours.
