Appraisal
This building makes a notable and positive contribution to the streetscape, due to the unusual form of the building, which is enlivened and enhanced by the decorative gables. This purpose-built house and retail outlet is an interesting reminder of the provisions which were made for living over the shop during the nineteenth century.
