Appraisal
This house contains a fine example of a nineteenth-century shopfront. Its simple design contains little embellishment adding to its modest charm. This structure has been, and continues to be, an integral feature within the streetscape of Linenhall Street and a positive addition to the architectural heritage of the area.
