Appraisal
The height of this building is similar to the surrounding buildings, though it is differentiated by its two-storey elevation. The regular façade is enlivened by the Italianate dressings and parapet wall whose fine crafting and symmetry adds to the elegance of the façade. The retention of the one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows adds to the architectural interest of the structure.
