Appraisal
These well-maintained buildings have been sympathetically joined together and the characteristic features such as elaborate window surrounds and timber sliding sash windows have been retained, creating unity within the overall composition. The building is also significant for its prominent site, which is accentuated by a chamfered and decorated corner.
