Terraced three-bay three-storey commercial building, built c. 1925, with retail outlet to ground floor. Pitched slate roof with rendered parapet having limestone panels, copings and urn. Rendered walls to upper floors with ashlar limestone quoins, eaves course, and surround to first floor opening. Ashlar limestone walls to ground floor with string course between ground and first floors, and having carved fret boarder to ground floor opening. Timber sash windows with moulded limestone sills to second floor. Timber casement window to first floor having wrought-iron balcony. Recessed shopfront comprising of fixed window and glazed door.
Built as part of a terrace with the adjoining four buildings to the east and west, this terrace forms an interesting early twentieth-century piece in the urban landscape. The scale and form of this terrace make a notable and positive contribution to the streetscape. Though designed and constructed as a single piece with breakfront end bays, each building in the terrace is of different form and design. This building retains many interesting features and materials, such as the timber windows, carved and ashlar limestone details and the wrought-iron balcony.
