Appraisal
The scale and form of this building make a notable and positive addition to the streetscape. This building retains many interesting features and materials, such as the timber sash windows, moulded render window surrounds and timber shopfront. The simple shopfront is a notable feature of the building, and was clearly executed by skilled craftsmen. Modest shopfronts such as this are becoming increasingly rare in the urban context and are increasingly threatened by modern historical pastiche replacement.
