Appraisal
This building terminates a terrace of buildings on Cross Street. It is characterized by its limestone and brick façade, the tooled stone walls contrasting with red brick dressings, giving the building an artistic quality and adding interest to the streetscape. The decorative red brick corbelling below the eaves and the matching red brick cornice and the consoles are notable decorative features.
