Replacement glazed name plate, c.1985. Road fronted. Concrete brick footpath to front.
This building is a fine and well-maintained symmetrical edifice of graceful proportions that retains most of its original form and character. The building retains an early – possibly original – shopfront to ground floor and is of social and historic interest as one of the earliest purpose-built commercial and residential buildings in the locality. Many further early or original features and materials remain in situ, including timber sash fenestration and a slate roof with cast-iron rainwater goods. The building is an important and integral component of the streetscape of Main Street North, continuing the established streetline and contributing considerably to the varied roofline of the terrace.
