Appraisal
The scale and form of this building make a positive contribution to the streetscape. Though many original features and materials have been replaced, this building retains interesting features and materials, such as the recessed blind arch, the timber sash windows and the red brick walls. The carved stone detail of the Venetian windows is a notable feature of the building and was clearly executed by skilled craftsmen.
