Appraisal
This building shares a number of elements with its neighbouring buildings, including structural aspects such as shared parapet height, fenestration alignment and the presence of breakfronts. It shares decorative details including a shared cornice, shared coping and window surrounds, with the resulting sense of a uniform design making a positive impact on the streetscape. Its façade is enlivened by decorative granite detailing to windows and cornice. Notably, a variety of timber sash windows have been retained and add further architectural significance to the façade. This fine building, like many others in the area, was rebuilt following the destruction of this area during the 1916 Rising.
