Appraisal
Forming part of pair of similarly scaled structures, this former house is an integral element of a long terrace of commercial properties. The unusual form of the building with its modestly scaled window openings and a steeply pitched corrugated-iron roof reflect the vernacular architectural influences and suggest that this building may have originally been thatched. The building has maintained much of its historic character through the retention of key historic features including fine sash windows and an uncomplicated shopfront.
