Appraisal
This building plays a positive role in the architectural heritage of Irish Street, and has retained its original proportions and form. It has retained some early features and materials such as the slate roof, timber sliding sash windows and interesting rendered detailing to window surrounds. The modern shopfront is of some interest in its own right.
